Luke tells us more about the women in Jesus’ life than any other gospel. Jesus on his way to deliver one daughter is detained by another one. Study the details... Discover your duty.

Lawnmowers Or Motorcycles?

Contributed by Bruce Ball on Jun 25, 2005

A sermon that shows the more risks one takes, the more one is fulfilled in life. And, the more risk a Christian takes for Christ, the more fulfillling His walk with the Lord will be.
