This series could very easily be expanded into 15-20 lessons, if not more. I pray that these lessons will ...read more

Make a big deal about then 5-10 minutes into sermon have them come back to the front at different times and say they don’t want my gift and throw it at me. This illustration is what some people do with the gift of holiness that ...read more
