A Decree from Caesar Augustus

This week Pastor Ron begins a Christmas series called “The Birth of Jesus Christ.” He begins by taking us to Luke 2:1-3 where we find Caesar Augustus making a decree that a census be taken of all the people in the Roman Empire. God works out the details so that prophesy might be fulfilled.
