Victory In Jesus Series

Contributed by Christopher Benfield on Jun 23, 2016

Far too many believers live defeated lives. The Lord is never pleased when we surrender to our difficulties and admit defeat. Granted we can't overcome within our own ability, but with the help of the Lord, we can live victoriously.
