These are areas that not only hurt ourselves and others, but ultimately break down our relationship with God. Last week as we talked about giving things up, we tackled the ...read more

I know that you do believe." 28 Then Agrippa said to Paul, "You almost persuade me to become a Christian." 29 And Paul said, "I would to God that not only you, but also all who hear me today, might become both almost and altogether ...read more

But the Holy Spirit is who works the convincing in the person’s heart. We don’t convert, convince or win ...read more
