To him it was the most spectacular event of his life. And yet, as spectacular as it may have been, what that healing signified was by ...read more

    based on 1 rating
     | 10,210 views

    Churches in business Luke 19:13 - So he called ten of his servants, delivered to them ten minas, and said to them, “Do business till I come.” God always intended for the priesthood to reinvest a portion of the tithe, with the expectation of a return. It was part of His plan to show ...read more
