In Death Christ Is Our Refuge

Sunday October 10, 2021 Text: Psalm 90:1-17 Speaker: Pastor Matthew Ude Passages: Psalm 90:1-17

Moses desired not to be a preacher of the Law but a hearer and searer of the Gospel. We have seen the work of God’s hand and the beauty of the Lord does shine upon us, here in the cross of Jesus.
