Luke 2: 21-33….Is there such a word as ‘overmorrow’?

I’m not certain if anybody uses it in this way, but I’m using it in the sense of ‘what comes next’! 21 And at the end of eight days, when he was circumcised, he was called Jesus, the nameContinue reading “Luke 2: 21-33….Is there such a word as ‘overmorrow’?”
John 1: 1-15….Underneath the subterfuge Who was He really?

Micah 6: 1-8….Sitting in the Court of Heaven!
Introduction: There must have been a pretty severe outcry against God for Him to institute a Court and call all of nature (the mountains and the hills) to be the jury! 1 Hear what the LORD says:Arise, plead your case before the mountains,and let the hills hear your voice.2 Hear, you mountains, the indictment ofContinue reading “Micah 6: 1-8….Sitting in the Court of Heaven!”
