Sermons on Confrontation:

Questions, Questions

Contributed by Michael Hopkins on Oct 25, 2005

How do we respond to the questions of life? How did Jesus respond?

#1 Exclusive Faith Series

Contributed by Norris Harris I on Jan 24, 2003

We have this tenacious tendency of using this Jesus/And strategy; Jesus/And… my money, my medicine, my doctor, my parents, my spouse, my friends, ...read more
