What does God have to do to you to get you to trust Him? Will you surrender willingly, or does God need to shake up your life to get your attention?

What did God call you to do? Does it seem too big to do? Pastor Ron, today, declares God's faithfulness to us. He will provide resources to do what He has called us to do.

Today, Pastor Ron notes that God wants us to obey Him, especially when it doesn't make sense to us.

Is God your shield? Do you know Him as your protector? Does He provide for you? In his message today, Pastor Ron reminds us that God blesses us when we trust and obey God. He protects us.

The life He offers is...
