Take Heed How You Hear

Contributed by Philip Harrelson on Oct 2, 2015

It is important how we come to church and hear! We often forget that listening to preaching is an act of worship but few really prepare their mind to hear the Word in a focused way.

The Book Of Galatians – Chapter 1:2-10 - Message 2 Series

Contributed by Ron Ferguson on Jan 27, 2023
