    This sermon deals with the importance of setting goals. It is a revision of the sermon material given to us in Rick Warren's Transformation series as our church went through the series. I highly recommend the series for your church.

We used the material to kick off a church campaign for growth. Welcome to 50 Days of Transformation as we continue The ...read more

Well, today we're gonna talk about what it really means to be blessed. Let's start with a little object lesson. I want you to think about a loaf of bread. It's pretty ...read more
