A Failure To Believe Series

Contributed by David Owens on Dec 16, 2019

In Romans chapter 10, Paul explains that the majority of the Jews had missed the salvation turning point of history. They didn't understand that Jesus was the end of the law, and tripped over the stumbling stone of Christ. They failed to believe in Jesus.

Salvation is something that everyone needs, but few recognize it. B. So when we talk about salvation and ...read more
