    Proper 23 (A), 18th Sunday after Pentecost. We enter into the wedding feast of the Lamb when we believe His word of promise and come in faith, to praise and honor Him. Those who did not enter were centered on themselves instead of Christ.

    Defending The Poor Series

    Contributed by Robert Leroe on Mar 3, 2013
     | 6,836 views
