A few days ago, I was reading Ezra chapter two. Toward the end of the chapter, I read these verses: Ezra 2:68–69 And some of the chief of the fathers, when they came to the house of the Lord which is at Jerusalem, offered freely for the house of God to set it up in […]
Ministry Update – 1st Official Anniversary of Downham Baptist Church

Book Review: Grace-Based Parenting by Tim Kimmel

Ministry Update – Trips, Events, Preaching, World Cup, Stabbings
