Christian DNA

Tuesday, October 17th, 2006

In our meetings on Sunday morning, and our overall corporate study times, we've been looking at 2 Thessalonians, just walking through it, looking at what it says.  A real theme we've run across is the terms faith, hope, and love.  It really seems like this is what was placed in us when we were brought […]
