     | 4,611 views

    Early believers were able to face opposition and tribulation because they focused upon their identity, following Jesus. What is our identity?

    How good are you at sharing your faith? We want to share Christ with others because we know what the benefits are but more often than not we convince ourselves that it isn’t the right moment or I can’t talk about that again because they are fed up with me

Acts 4 How good are you at sharing your faith? How often does your conversation include discussion about Jesus Christ?

Maurice is (or at least was) an international Christian Speaker travelling all over the UK, and Europe and particularly the USA. And his book is a compilation ...read more
