However he suggested that something that once was not taboo - death - is ...read more

    Contributed by Gordon Mcculloch on Apr 27, 2015
    based on 1 rating

Amen Today we look at that passage again where Jesus tells us that he is the Good Shepherd, and there are a lot of references to sheep, so I warn you before hand, ... it has a powerful ending though. The 23rd Psalm is ...read more
