1) August 17, 2025 "Freedom For The Captives"
This is one of my favorite - if not my favorite story about Jesus. It's not a healing - it's not miraculous - it's Jesus' first sermon. In it, he pretty much frames what his whole life has been and wi...Show More
2) August 10, 2025 "An Ark In A Stormy World"
