Sermon # 1 - God's Bountiful Heart Series

Contributed by Andrew Dixon on Feb 22, 2024

What is the secret to a life of overflowing abundance? There’s much we can learn from the life of David and Abraham. God can bless abundantly if only we can follow certain principles, and let go of thoughts and attitudes that displease God.
