Message: “And Jesus Increased” from Shawn Merithew

A message from the series “Sermons.” As we come to the only recorded story of the boyhood of Jesus that we have in all the gospels, we find that Jesus was aware of His unique relationship to God from his boyhood.

A message from the series “Sermons.” In the midst of the narratives in Luke two, we have these brief three verses that introduce us to Anna, a dedicated servant of the Lord.
