I was asked to preach 2 Kings 3:9-20 as part of a series they are doing, and titled my message “Jesus is a Greater King with a Greater Kingdom.” Some people got saved and baptized which was great! We hope to... Read more

Occasionally, however, an email is simply heartbreaking. When I read such emails, I pray for folks and, when prompted, contact them.
