    God’s Kingdom Come to Earth

    Part I Part II So why is King Melchizedek vital to our story? If you remember from Monday, Abram conquered a vast army with a mere 318 men. Men who were “trained” by Abram to pray, to worship to know and serve the one true God. My friends, Abram didn’t doubt that through his prayer,…
