At Calvary – Episode 59 – Adoring a Great God
The Greatest of all possible beings. Sounds impressive, right? Yet, often the response to the greatest of all possible beings seems off.

Worried about What to Say?
We all do it. We have an important meeting with an old friend or a time of encouragement with someone who is struggling, and what do we do? We worry about what we will say. When we are trying to witness to a lost co-worker or friend, what do we do? We worry about what…
