The Gate and the Tree05/19/19 - Joe Kimmell - Matthew 7:13-20
The gateway to life is narrow and the road is difficult. These words are not ones which inspire and encourage us generally, unless you have been on it and feel the struggle of it. But many of us are turned off thinking that this is saying something that it may not actually be saying. Instead of listening to fear and shame consider joining us and exploring the difficult road, the tree and its fruit, and the antidote of God. |
