Two Sides Of Faith

Contributed by Richard Tow on Jul 26, 2017

“Two Sides of Faith.” One side of faith looks very inactive on the surface. It is David waiting for the signal from God. The other side is obviously active. As soon as the light turns green, it moves and it moves boldly. Sermon explores these two aspects
