“What do you want me to do for you?” Luke 18:41 Bartimaeus was sitting at the side of the road, shouting out to Jesus. What did he want? Was he looking for sympathy? Did he want Jesus to toss him a few coins? Bartimaeus starts out vaguely: “Jesus, Son of...
Dear UTB, Thank you for your continued devotion to teaching the Word of God! I so appreciate ministries like yours who are faithful to the truth. Listening to solid bible teaching during my day helps me to feed on the Word and to know Jesus Christ more and more and...
