     | 2,977 views

She earned a lot of money for her masters by telling fortunes. 17 She followed Paul and the rest of us, ...read more

It’s a good text, a familiar text, so familiar that when I first wrote it I expected it to be relatively smooth sailing. But it wasn’t. It was a difficult sermon for me to write, partly because it’s ...read more

Why Jesus had to come and His purpose in coming was to die for our sins. This is why we will be observing the Lord’s Supper today, the last Sunday of the ...read more
