    This message is to challenge listeners to lay aside excuses (biblical buts) and to begin seeking Him in every area of our lives.

    Daring to Make a Stand for God Today’s verses teach me about “Biblical Buts". Biblical buts? Yes, we all have buts. Some are small, but most are usually pretty big. Although some may be bigger than others, we all have them. Some are so big that others try to hide behind them. ...read more
