January 25, 2021

March 11, 2019

We reach the midpoint of Lent this week, and walk with God’s people through the wilderness and into the land of promise. We hear of God’s ten best ways to live in the land, and see God’s patience with an ever-failing people. Finally comes David, a man after God’s own heart – here we see … More The Big Story – Week 4
