    This sermon seeks to contrast the difference in the persons life who is "in Christ" as opposed to one who is "in Adam" from the perspective of The Exchanged Life.

So my question and the subject of this sermon is: “What does it mean to be in Christ?” For a couple of weeks now, I’ve talked about what it means to be “in Adam.” In fact, 1 ...read more

Look through and you’ll see these words: BY FAITH… • We have here a list of men (and woman) in history that have exercised faith in God and saw the acts of God in their lives. • Biblical faith is not an emotion or a feeling.
