    At the end of the Sermon on the Mount Jesus makes it clear - we all face a choice as to the sorts of people we are going to be. Who are you?

     | 7,091 views

    Paul said that He was not ashamed of the Gospel of Jesus Christ. Can we say the same? Do we show that we are not ashamed how Paul did?

    INTRO I believe one of the greatest evidences of Jesus Christ are the changed lives of the men that we see in the scriptures that claimed to see our resurrected Lord.
