A Spiritual House? Part 1

October 21, 2013
When we look at the beauty of a house, we probably don't think about the building process.  There are tools, hard labor, and sometimes blood, sweat, and tears.  Today, Pastor Jeff will teach from 1st Kings, Chapter 7, and we'll take a detailed look at the house Solomon built.
