When you realize that everything you have belongs to God, it changes the way you live, give, and trust Him. In Pastor Phil Hopper’s message, “Exchange Self for Sacrifice” from 1 Chronicles 29, we look at how King David led God’s people to give willingly and joyfully because they understood the temple was for the Lord, not for man. Just like Israel was called to build a house for God’s presence, th...

In the final message of this series, Pastor Phil explores one of the most pivotal moments in Israel’s history—the fall of Jericho. reveals as a timeless lesson of faith, obedience, and divine authority.
