The Story of the Crooked Judge (1 of 4)
Series: The Parables of Jesus

Luke 18:1-8
Cross Church is about to turn 1! We are two weeks away from our next big offering day on February 22 - this will close out year 2 of a three-year campaign.

Every single house inside our church family - two weeks from today. Get alone with God and ask Him, ''What should I give, Lord?''
And then get with the financial decision makers in your home and make a decision together.

Late in 2011, her case was assigned to an atheist judge who was also racist. Others had heard the judge say, ''Mexicans should be sent back across the border.'' The fi ...
