    How Does Personal Spiritual Growth Connect To The Church? Series

    Contributed by Jim Butcher on Sep 30, 2020
     | 1,944 views

It’s not essential to grasp that verse in order to be able to understand the larger point that Paul is making, so we’re just going to lay it aside this evening. There’s not any benefit tonight in spending a ...read more
