    All of us encounter trouble from time to time in our lives. Sometimes the trials and tribulations come as a test. Sometimes they come for the glory of God.

    This sermon is from an Exchanged-life perspective and sets out to communicate God’s view of you that makes you worthy with a hope that the hearer will come to a more healthy sense of self-acceptance and love.
