Money Talks - Spend Me Premium Sermon

Contributed by PRO Premium on Oct 9, 2023

This sermon explores the concept of using money as a tool for good, rather than squandering it, and encourages Christians to live within their means and avoid debt.

Give us your money and we will give you something that will break, become obsolete, or require even more money to maintain! That kind of language would not sell a product, but, as with most ...read more

They were the ultimate church plant. They started with 11, grew to 120, then to 3000. Not bad, as a matter of fact very good. But how did they do it?
