    Hillsborough Reformed Church at Millstone August 7, 2005 Matthew 14:22-33 There are lots of orders being given in this passage – people telling each other what to do.

There were no Ministerial Alliance S.O.P.’s… No gas vouchers… no Confirmation Classes, nor was there an Evangelism Committee to carry out the year long planning… instead Peter and John found ...read more
