The Fork in the Road: A Different Gospel, Part 3 (Gal 5 part 1)
Chapter 5 We skip to chapter 5 for the sake of space. 1 For freedom Christ has set us free; stand firm therefore, and do not submit again to a yoke of slavery. V. 1 recalls that Paul had said … Continue reading

A Different Way to Do Teen Ministry Campus Ministry Church, Putting Theory into Practice
