Conquering The Giants In Our Lives

Contributed by Benjamin Utomo on Feb 3, 2021

Like the ancient Israelites, we have been set free from the slavery of sin and now are heading to the Promised "Land." We face various "giants" of problems personally, in the family, and from society against biblical truth.
