Walking With The Lord

Contributed by Arthur Mathis on Jan 28, 2003

In this sermon I want to stress the fact that we might not know all the sheep of Jesus, but that Jesus knows all His sheep and that His sheep knows Him.

The Last Page Series

Contributed by Nickolas Kooi on Nov 22, 2017

I love reading the last scene and then reading the book to figure out what that last image portrayed means, or the reason and significance behind ...read more
