    Sermon # 40 - No Longer A Slave Series

    Contributed by Andrew Dixon on Jul 30, 2025

He prompted ...read more

    This sermon delves into the profound reasons we should express our gratitude to God. Our decision to thank God should not be contingent on His recent actions for us, but rather on the everlasting love He has shown us through His Son and His continuous blessings.
