Equipping Our Students to “Walk as Wise”

Let us Exalt Christ similar to the ways of John the Baptist
John the Baptist lived on earth at the time of Jesus. He was ministering, but there came a time that he would step down and proclaim the ministry of Jesus to be more superior then his own. Indeed, the timing of this event is really a transition time between the Old Covenant and New Covenant. …
