“Whom Shall I Send, And Who WIll Go For Us?” ISAIAH 6:8

“Whom Shall I Send, And Who WIll Go For Us?” ISAIAH 6:8 For 40 years when Richard heard this call he answered with – “Here I am!

Pastoral Ponderings : March 2018

“The wind blows wherever it wishes; you hear the sound it makes, but you do not know where it comes from or where it is going. It is like that with everyone who is born of the spirit.” [John 3:8 T.E.V.] The poet may have been reflecting on these words of Jesus when he wrote: […]

Children’s Bible Study
