Will God Forgive?

Contributed by Harold Kouwenberg on Aug 3, 2013

A Head Table Mentality Series

Contributed by D. Dewaine Phillips on Mar 26, 2022

This parable promotes Christ-like leadership over the worldly model of leadership in which power and control seems to be the normal style. Kenneth ...read more
