    The contention concerning the centurion. Acts 11:1 -- 18. 02/25/04 You remember I said a great change came into the early church when the Gentiles got saved. This change produced contention in the early church and Peter was right in the middle of it. “When the apostle’s and brethren that were ...read more

    How To Overcome Slavery To Sin

    Contributed by Paul Fritz on Oct 18, 2000
    based on 84 ratings
     | 12,648 views
