Standing In The Gap Series

Contributed by Jeff Strite on Sep 4, 2016

Contributed by David Owens on Feb 8, 2016

In this first sermon, I establish that we must be conformed into the likeness of Jesus. Because He was a servant, we must also become servants. A resource I am basing the series on is Charles Swindoll's "Improving Your Serve."
