    It seems today that everything is being shaken, but that is not always a bad thing. There are some great things coming out of the shaking.

    Surrendering Our Speech Series

    based on 4 ratings
     | 6,614 views

    This sermon is about surrending our speech, the bad language, but also the lies, gossip and name calling. It points out surrender of speech also includes encouraging words, and building others up.

    Five weeks ago we began speaking about Surrender. We learned what God wants from us. The first thing, and essentially if you think about it, the only thing He wants from us. Everything else about having a life of faith, leading a holy life and being a follower of Christ, comes from fully ...read more
