Hearing Problems

Contributed by Alison Bucklin on Jul 19, 2023

Are we afraid to ask what Jesus has in store for us, of what our future following him might look like?

This was a very difficult sermon to prepare because this passage doesn’t really apply to you, at least not the way most preachers spin it.
