Sermon # 3 - A People Blessed By God Series

Contributed by Andrew Dixon on Jan 25, 2024

We as a church are a people blessed by God. God’s word teaches us how blessings and curses operate. Only when God’s blessings are on us can we remain safe and protected from the attacks of Satan.

Contributed by Ron Ferguson on Nov 14, 2022
