An Understanding Heart, Part 2 of 2 (When Jesus Has Your Heart)

April 29, 2022

Why would anyone rejoice in circumstances that are depressing, painful, or seemingly impossible? Jesus knew that the disciples would be tested in ways they could not imagine after He went to the cross. That’s why He spent His final night revealing what would happen. In this message, we join the fearful disciples and gain understanding from our Lord. You and I can read the last page; the war will be won.
