Good morning, everybody.

Stefan Mullen, you from Free Domain, hope you doing well.

Really would appreciate that.

Today, in Bible verses, we're talking about Matthew 716.

0:11.8

By their fruits, you shall know them.

0:15.4

Do men gather grapes of thorns or figs of thistles?

0:20.1

Even so, every good tree bringeth forth good fruit, and the evil tree

0:26.9
