Lets listen more to the ladies
Something interesting came out in my Easter sermon on Sunday. Men should listen more to what women say! Let me show you where we got this from God’s Word. I was preaching on “the road to Emmaus” from Luke 24:13-35. And in this passage the two disciples who are making the 7 mile walk to…
