The Lord's Prayer 4 - Learning To Call God Father: Our Father Series

Contributed by Geoffrey Foot on Aug 24, 2024

Many times nothing at all but sometimes there is that flash of inspiration when ...read more

Many times we will select a small passage of scripture from the Bible for our devotional reading each day.
