New Life Church of Siloam Springs, Arkansas
Series - Simply Jesus (part 4)
"Jesus, the Righteous Judge" Today we will see Christ in a final light of this series. We are remiss if we only see Christ in the role of baby, Savior, lamb, and the divine Candy Man. There is a serious and somber component to knowing Jesus. To know Him fully, we all must become aware of Jesus as the Judge.
