Who Dares To Question The Lord

Contributed by Gregg Bitter on Jul 12, 2003

Eating With The Troops Series

Contributed by Jeff Strite on Oct 4, 2009

The early church "gathered together to break bread." Why was this activity so critical to them and what can it mean to us?

OPEN: There’s an old saying: “An army marches on… (its stomach).” What that means is: if an army doesn’t feed its men it’s not going anywhere.
