    It wasn’t enough that Saul had Go’s Spirit within him. He also needed to respond to the Spirit’s prompting with obedience. We need to listen to God’s voice and respond as he would have us respond. "Surely, to obey is better than sacrifice, and to heed tha

     | 3,189 views

    This Sunday we’ll be looking at how as believers we are victorious and that nothing can separate us from the love that God has for us through Christ because in and through Him we are more than conquerors. And then we’ll look at the preeminence of Christ that seals the deal.
