    After a short story based on Judges 3 to introduce the text, this sermon notes how God uses unexpected leaders and how God's leaders overturn idols.

     | 9,057 views

    Be willing to make sacrifices for God and be blessed. When we give of ourselves, God’s will can be fulfilled. Ask, what does God expects from us today?

It’s good to get the right perspective. • ...read more
