Jesus’ Authority – My Responsibility
By Philipp Meinecke Read Luke 8:26-39 and Matthew 28:18-20 18th century English writer and theologian G. K.

Visible event to the untrained eye. A lamp bringing light even into the darkest of rooms. A beautiful bride made ready for her husband. A house, in which those far and near find a home. Salt to season and preserve. Through the power of the Holy Spirit, the early Church presented such a
