     | 9,368 views

    If You Would Be Perfect

    Contributed by Michael Stark on Jan 31, 2015
     | 5,992 views

    From Rejection To Reconciliation Series

    Contributed by David Dykes on Oct 30, 2014
    based on 2 ratings
     | 12,139 views

Romans, 9, 10, and 11 is the section of Romans where Paul is dealing with Israel, with the Jews. To review the entire scope of the book of Romans I am preaching through, Romans, 1-8 is ...read more
