Fourth Sunday Of Advent, Year A

Contributed by Paul Andrew on Dec 2, 2019

Our Prayers Have Been Answered Series

Contributed by Gordon Pike on Apr 11, 2019

"congratulations! It's A Savior!" Series

Contributed by Gordon Pike on Jul 25, 2021

God continues to look for women and men like Mary and Joseph. People who will pursue obedience, whatever the cost. People who will trust God – even though the outcome seems unsure. God continues to raise up people for His purposes.
