They did not call Him “Teacher” or “Lord” or “Messiah” or “Son of David”, they called Him “Master”. Is this significant? Yes, they called Him Master because a more literal ...read more

    In the last sermon, we dealt with Paul stating that whether he lived or died, his purpose for living was for the Lord Jesus.
