Sermon On Living The Life

Contributed by William Meakin on Mar 30, 2024

Living the life might be regarded as: taking it firmly by the horns, embracing it with an open mind, and performing the constructional intentions of making the most of opportunities, despite the many obstacles or difficulties that consistently present themselves.

Do what matters most to you; do what makes you feel alive and happy. Don't let the expectations and ideas of ...read more

Joseph: Rejected But Respected Series

Contributed by Wade Martin Hughes, Sr on Jul 27, 2024
