Joshua: Fit for the Fight

On Sunday, we were reminded that Joshua fought a victorious battle at Jericho because he was “Fit for the Fight.” We only got half way through the message so we will pick up part two next week. All of us have walls in our lives that need tearing down. The means to victory is simple [...]

Daniel: Faithful to the Finish

On Sunday, we continued our sermon series entitled, “Great Bible Stories,” where we are examining the Sunday School classics.
