A Good Call

In this message I want us to see that throughout history God has revealed Himself and has worked for the Good of His people. Even today He does the same Psalm 136 English Standard Version (ESV) His Steadfast Love Endures Forever 136 Give thanks to the Lord, for he is good, for his steadfast love…
