Rediscovering the Great Commission
Pastor Fenton Moorhead
As if Jesus were speaking personally to us, for that is His intention right now, for us, as His

Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the Name of the Father, and the Son, and the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey e ...
