The Transfiguration Of Jesus

In Jesus's Transfiguration, He reveals who we truly are and who we are to become by the grace of God.

Kingdom Keys - Mark Series

Contributed by Robert Butler on Jan 12, 2024

After all, the bible is God’s Word curated over centuries detailing His nature, His will, the meaning of life and ...read more
