A Baptism By Fire

Contributed by D. Dewaine Phillips on Apr 28, 2023

Fire is a fierce, frightening force and we do not usually associate it with Jesus. However, this message shows how Jesus came bringing what John the Baptist calls an “unquenchable fire,” referring to God's judgement.

Doubting Thomas

Contributed by Claude Alexander on Apr 11, 2022
