    Things get hard in life, things get tough, and it really is your choice, everyday, are you going to walk away from Him, or are you going to walk closer beside Him?

    A reporter once asked to Helen Keller “What would be worse than being born blind?” She replied, “The only thing worse than being blind is to have sight without vision.

    This sermon looks at how many have selfish reasons for following Jesus. The premise is that many say that they love Jesus, when in reality they don’t love Him per say but really only for what He gives them.

The premise of the show was that they would take an ordinary guy making a working man’s salary, clean him up, put him up in a castle ...read more
