    This sermon encourages the listener not to be an "almost", but to be all that God intends them to be in life, first through Salvation, then through living in His will.

Did you say to yourself, “I’m never going to do that?” This is the way many people respond to the Lord’s call on their life. I’ve heard it said you should ...read more
