God Has Not Failed Series

Contributed by Glenn Pease on Apr 3, 2021

God has not failed, nor has His Word been unfulfilled, for God's process of selection has narrowed down His elect to those of like faith with Abraham. All who had this faith among the Jews were the remnant, and they were the true Israel of God.

They use to pass the king's palace, and he always gave them charity. One of the beggars always praised the king for his goodness and generosity, while the ...read more

Sermon # 35 - The Sanctity Of Marriage Series
