Isaiah 40:31 NKJV The substance of hope is the faith I have in who God is, what He has promised, and how He loves me! A lot of faith in...

They will mock him, spit on him, flog him with a whip, and kill him, but after three days he will rise again.” Mark 10:33-34 NLT Many spread their cloaks on the road, and others s...
