However, their disobedience and ...read more

    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

    based on 19 ratings
     | 16,740 views

    WHEN BAD THINGS HAPPEN TO GOD’S PEOPLE? Acts 16:25-34 25 But at midnight Paul and Silas were praying and singing hymns to God, and the prisoners were listening to them. 26 Suddenly there was a great earthquake, so that the foundations of the prison were shaken; and immediately all the ...read more
