Acts 18:18-28. How God made use of Apollos, Aquila, and Priscilla to spread the gospel. What steps can I take this summer to prepare myself to serve Jesus more beneficially?
Mark 8:11-21. Verse 15, in following Christ today, what worldly leaven must I beware of mixing with the bread of heaven that He alone can give?
