Making My Gain Worth It
This past New Year weekend I was given the opportunity to preach as a fill-in for my pastor. Sometimes, when he’s out of town, I will get asked to give the message. I always say yes, I always enjoy it, and I am always grateful. I try to record a message whenever I get the [...]
