    When God’s leaders, whether secular political, secular business, or church religious leaders, fail, the result is disastrous for both God’s people and those around them.

    Some of you are bound to be offended at the title of this sermon.

     | 19,838 views

    This sermon continues the series on using all our senses to experience and live in relationship with God. The focus here is for us to taste that God is good, and for us to leave a good taste in the lives of not-yet-believers.

For those of you who are familiar with liquorice … well you know you are experiencing something like ...read more
