  26. Episode 427: Episode 427 : It finally makes sense : Matthew 3:15

  29. Episode 424: Episode 424 : Overlooked and neglected : 1 Corinthians 1:27-29

  32. Episode 421: Episode 421 : Forgiveness : Matthew 18:23-34

  46. Episode 407: Episode 407 : Rummage or Treasure : Matthew 13:44

  47. Episode 406: Episode 406 : Independence Day : Galatians 5:1

    In the United States every year, for the last 248 years, we have celebrated our independence from England’s rule. We broke free because of the tyrannical, oppressive rule of England’s king.
