May 20, 2018 By Matthew Cooke Leave a Comment

This title of this sermon; ‘Setting the Stage,’ sounds like it’s describing some sort of movie or play. It’s not. This ‘stage’ is the outworking of a Script, but not the script of a fictional tale. This stage is set in real space & real time by the ultimate Script Writer: God Himself. This story […]
