A Long Way To Go

Jesus’ entry into Jerusalem teaches us some important lessons about a life committed to God.

It has a lot of spiritual application, but it is very interesting considering what happens next. In the parable Jesus talks about a king that goes to receive his kingdom but the people ...read more
