Often times, we don’t realize just how sinful we are in our nature. We ignore the wrath of God in our lives which He righteously implores on us in order to turn us away from our depravity and back to Him.

This week Pastor Taylor talks about repenting of ou...

Recognizing this we are led to respond with our one clear job, spread the Gospel. In this episode, Pastor Ma...

When we are not focused on the right things, we always want more and more, missing the fact this it is God who blesses us. We explain it away by mere coincidence.
