Contributed by Barry O Johnson on Oct 13, 2018

When we accept Jesus as Lord there is an excitement. We want to save the world. But over time the world beats so many of us into silence. This message is about how the Apostle Paul refused to let circumstances keep him from finishing his race.

Contributed by Jeremiah Menyongai on Oct 2, 2016
