In The Presence Of The King On The Road

Contributed by Warner Pidgeon on May 7, 2014

A short talk given at a Wednesday morning communion service reflecting upon Jesus drawing alongside the disciples on the road to Emmaus. He listened, rebuked and ate with them. What can we learn from this?

Now as the church submits to Christ, so also wives should submit in everything to their husbands.” [1] It is tragically sad ...read more
