The Bread of Affliction

Mr. Smith begins this holy day sermon by showing us that the Bible gives several meanings for unleavened bread. but he then focuses on one meaning the bread of affliction. He shows us why this term is used for unleavened bread and how it relates to our lives as Christians as we seek god's kingdom.
