    It is vitally important that you understand how completely dependent you are on God. Everyone claims to have the answers to life’s questions but only God truly does!

    This sermon explores the balance between fulfilling our earthly responsibilities and maintaining our spiritual identity, using Jesus' teachings on paying taxes as a guide.
