Romans 10.5-15 – Service 2019
We spend much of our time reminding each other what it means to be loved by God. That Father God came looking for us simply because He loves us. Jesus died for us simply because He loves us. Holy Spirit engages with us simply because He loves us. We do not earn this love, it…
