Jesus grew ...

30/12/2018

 
Preacher: Ian Hardcastle  [Texts: Luke 2:41-52; 1 Sam 2:18-20,26; Col 3:12-17]
Jesus grew in stature, wisdom and the favour of God and men.  Growth is part of God's creation ordinance we needn't despise the processes of growth and development.  We can learn from what Luke records about Jesus as a boy.
