    Not everyone you share the gospel with will have hardened hearts. You should have hope. There are those who will receive the gospel for what it is, the words of eternal life.

You find one person moved to tears by the gospel and another cold and distant. Not ...read more

    We all need John the Baptist’s in our lives, who call us away from unGodly things to God and to His new life. This sermon explores who and what are John the Baptist’s in our lives today
