1 Corinthians 15 – a critical and pivotal chapter. I’m going to provide some of the verses that are so profound in my world, what I’ve discovered, been taught, and learned.

He also is emphasizing what they need to know and how to act in the days ahead. Jesus’ demonstration by washing
[This post is really part 2 which began with the previous post called, “And after having done all to stand… Stand.] Do you know, realize you are in a battle… always?
