We don't know a whole lot about Jesus' childhood, but there are a few things that we can know. Life goes on and we must walk by faith as God reveals Himself to us.

There Is A Fountain

The Sunday Morning worship service at Oxford Assembly of God, live on November 15, 2020, 10am.

When John proclaimed, "behold the Lamb of God", he was pointing out the fountain from which our forgiveness flows.
