I believe that at some point, we've all daydreamed about what life would look like if we won the lottery. How it would "save" us from our woes. However, the Bible tells a different story. Our salvation is only found in Jesus, who was born into poverty. Yet, even in this poverty, He was recognized as the Savior by two faithful, elderly Israelites. Join Your Church Friends as they closely examine why salvation is exclusively found in Jesus and why it is an essential component in discovering a Savior.   Visit our Website: https://yourchurchfriends.rocks/

Join Your Church Friends as they closely examine the virgin birth of Jesus and how it is an essential component in discovering a Savior.   Purchase The Problem of Jesus by Mark Clark: https://www.amazon.com/Problem-Jesus-Answering-Skeptics-Challenges/dp/0310108306/ref=tmm_pap_swatch_0?_encoding=UTF8&qid=&sr=   Visit our Website: https://yourchurchfriends.rocks/

These parables range from illustrations about two cities, an elm tree and a grapevine, a shepherd of luxury and a shepherd of punishment, to a cosmic willow tree and twelve mountains. All the parables drive home the same point: what are you going to do with God’s Word and how are you going to live once you know God’s commands?   Visit our website: https://yourchurchfriends.rocks/
