    Visual Sermon comparing our walk with Christ to a Table. Very powerful if done right and if the concepts are taken and made to fit your church.

    based on 3 ratings
     | 2,954 views

    The soul deals with mind emotion and will. The mind deals more than our thinking process, or logic/reasoning. We have emotions that control and remember our feelings. The will area is all most people have to operate with in making choices, good or bad.

    Paul listed all of the things the church was doing wrong. How embarrassing that must have been for anyone else who read this letter from the Apostle Paul. But this is what happens when someone gets to read the mail of our church.
