Stumblingblocks and the Kingdom (Luke 17:1–10)

Apr 20, 2018 by Dr. Joel McDurmon Leave a Comment

Jesus v. Jerusalem: A Commentary on Luke 9:51–20:26 9. “Faith and Faithfulness” (Luke 17:1–10) Immediately after the interruption by the Pharisees, Jesus turns back to continue His discussion with the disciples.
