Byhenry July 20, 2014

Keys to a Church Following Jesus
Byhenry September 13, 2015
Before I dig into this series organized around Dave Black’s book Seven Marks of a New Testament Church, I want to make a couple of off-the-cuff remarks. Over the last few years I’ve come to believe that we have two key elements that need to be changed, but more fundamentally, we keep talking about the…

Quick Follow-up on Hebrews 2:6-8

Psalm 119:25 – In the Dust
