Sermon: WHY THE CHURCH WILL TRIUMPH IN THE DARKEST OF TIMES

I was put to death on the cross with Christ, and I do not live anymore — it is Christ who lives in me. I still live in my body, but I live by faith in the Son of God who loved me and gave himself to save me.

THANK YOU, FATHER GOD
If You’ve followed my blog or read any of my books, you have no doubt encountered some musings that may appear “too personal” to share.
