    Between a rock and a hard, your options are limited. Candid advise: When you cannot fight or flee, learn to play dead; learn to trust God, yourself and count on your comrades and finally, keep hope alive. A cover for recovery!

    Sermon – Between a Rock and A Hard Place Text: Acts 14:19-24 “Then some Jews arrived from Antioch and Iconium and won the crowds to their side.

Well, that is not the ...read more
