Preach, Hear, Follow.

Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Dec 21, 2013

John the Baptist was sent beforehand to ‘prepare the way for the Lord’ (Isaiah 40:3; Matthew 3:3). Thus, John’s ministry always pointed away from himself to the One who was to come: ...read more

A stone that causes people to stumble and fall. Now, think about that for a moment. Why would that be? Why would ...read more
