IT'S THE MOST WONDERFUL TIME OF THE YEAR The title of the sermon is taken from the popular Christmas song of the same name.

A Cursed Fig Tree: That's Weird Series

Contributed by Denn Guptill on Jan 20, 2018

It just doesn't fit with our view of Jesus. We can understand when he goes ballistic and clears the ...read more
