Series: Going Viral
James Merritt
Joshua 1:1-9

At the end of every year it gives a report on the number of Bible verses that were shared and which ones were the most popular. These are the verses that were the most bookmarked, highlighted, and shared. We are going to deal with them in reverse order a ...
