Allow yourself to be inconvenienced in order for the gospel to be attractive (ch 2) - Interpersonal Example 3. Seek to cooperate and assist others around you by being a ...read more

    John the Baptist made a big impact on many people. This sermon encourages people to make a positive impact (for Jesus) upon people, and not simply to be going through the motions
