1 Corinthians 4: 1-7….Preparation to Preach…
1 This is how one should regard us, as servants of Christ and stewards of the mysteries of God. 2 Moreover, it is required of stewards that they be found faithful. 3 But with me it is a very small thing that I should be judged by you or by any human court. In fact,Continue reading “1 Corinthians 4: 1-7….Preparation to Preach…”

John 15: 18-16: 4a….Hated because you are His!
“If the world hates you, know that it has hated me before it hated you.
