    “Beautiful Feet and the Gospel Goal” Romans 10:9-15 At one time or another, everyone has played the “word association game?” You know how it’s played: one person gives a word and then you spontaneously respond with another word. If we changed the game to ...read more

After Jesus has been mobbed all night long in ...read more
