When God Brings The Hail (Exodus 9:13-35) Series

Sermon # 13 - Our Part In God's Plan Series

Contributed by Andrew Dixon on Apr 11, 2023

God is at work, but are we doing our part to fulfill God’s plan? There is also a physical realm and a spiritual realm, and the question is what are we focusing on in our lives?

Some others have resigned themselves to a fatalistic view that everything is controlled by God, and that therefore ...read more
