Sermon: Favor Over Fear by Steven Furtick
This sermon is a gift. For me, it encompasses two big projects I’m working on: a re-edit of my book, Desert of Solitude: Refreshed by Grace and the Marriage & Relationship: Modern Concepts vs. Biblical Principles Virtual Bible Study Series. I’ve added so much to Desert of Solitude since it was published in 2018, that it’s more of a re-write at this point.

Over the last seven months I’ve rarely left the house and when I do, it is in a car. When I lived in New York City, leaving home meant walking at least a mile a day, which would have been to/from subway stations, underground, up/down stairs, etc. Most work days meant five miles minimum by the end of the day.
