Looking at a proverb that describes a rich person's wealth as a strong walled city, he speaks about how wealth can be a blessing and a curse - a good servant but a bad master, trying to pull us towards self-sufficiency, shifting our...

  8. Parables of Jesus - Wise and foolish virgins // 30.07.26 // Matthew 25 1-13

  16. Made New 5 - New Calling // 05.07.26 // 1 Peter 2 v1-10
