🎨 Maybe a tenth of the whole mural at Olé Mexican Grill. Who painted this? It’s so fun.
⛪️ In John 7, John says that the Holy Spirit had not come because Jesus was not yet glorified. What did he mean and why is this important? Today, I jam packed a long morning sermon with answers to these questions.
