Zacchaeus

Threats to the Gospel
March 20, 2017 16:04 - 38 minutes - 52.7 MBThe people fighting against Paul wanted to make every gentile a full convert to Judaism.

March 11, 2017 17:22 - 38 minutes - 52.4 MBThe gospel does not only change our relationship with God. It also changes our relationship with people. In this passage we see one of the most amazing demonstrations of community. It is a direct reaction to the proclamation of the Gospel.
