TUESDAY: BE COMFORTED APRIL 7, 2020 READ: JOHN 14:1-31 “I am the way, and the truth, and the life.” – John 14:6 This verse has been picked apart more than any of the other “I Am” statements in the Gospel of John. People get really offended by this exclusive claim of Christ. When I taught […]

God Will Provoke, Prove, and Provide by Adam Miller
