That was fine, but after they put on their lipstick they would press their lips to the mirrors leaving dozens of ...read more

    It is a fact of life that we will go through times of trial, pain, and suffering. This is an encouraging sermon that reminds us that God has a plan for us, and that trials give us an opportunity to grow in faith, wisdom, and maturity.

    You know, everything happens for a reason. Even before I was saved, I seemed to have the knowing that nothing in life was a coincidence. I just knew that we encounter experiences in life for a purpose, either to learn an important life lesson, or to grow in some way, but more importantly, to ...read more

    Certainly, every believer should live a life that is respectful but there is more. It’s the "more" part that is so often lacking.
