    based on 18 ratings
     | 5,301 views

    A collection of passages from the Bible that tell God’s great story in one brief sermon.

    It’s a bit presumptuous for someone to claim to deliver the greatest sermon of the year, but I make no apologies for today’s lesson or it’s claim. That’s because God’s going to do the preaching today. Sometimes, preachers get in the way of God’s powerful message of hope. So let me quit sharing my ...read more

    Ignorance about your identity is bad, the day you know who you are in Christ is the day you have won the greatest battle.Therefore, if your purpose for living is discovered life has meaning.
