    Exodus chapter 12 tells the story of the First Passover and the connection with the final plague, the Plague of death. There is a definite connection from the Passover in the Old Testament and the Lord’s supper of the New Testament.

He was preaching on the Passover and his experience growing up where the Passover was observed in his home every year. It was an intimate family time for them. In ...read more

Paul’s final thoughts bear a striking ...read more
