I Will Live In The Light

New Sermon Series: What I’m Praying For!

What are you praying for? That’s a personal question. Even more personal is this: If all your prayers come true, how holy would you be, how many other people would be helped, and how many specific people would make it to Heaven? That question wrecked me when God gave it to me, and I challenged our c…
