Worship As Broken Flask People
March 17, 2021 | By Daniel Chabeda ES ‘21

“What then is Apollos? What is Paul? Servants through whom you believed, as the Lord assigned to each. I planted, Apollos watered, but God gave the growth… For no one can lay a foundation other than that which is laid, which is Jesus Christ.”
