Crossing The Jordan

Contributed by Andrew Dixon on Nov 25, 2025

(GNB) The place of this incident is at the banks ...read more

Preaching Of The Cross

Contributed by Phillip Smith on May 24, 2024

Over sixty years have I been in an assembly hearing preaching. Think about the number of years and the many preachers you have heard. You have heard ...read more
