11:15 am Second Church Service: Down the Up Escalator - Randy Roberts
Almighty God came into the womb of one of His creatures. His condescension is unfathomable. The God who cannot be tempted allowed his creatures to tempt him and eventually to kill Him. Yet in his humanity, Jesus displayed God’s character of love perfectly.
