Tune in for Matt and David's personal ins...

Join Matt Swords and Jim Ehrman as they discuss this weekend's message on the biblical principle of being under authority in order to walk in authority. We all want to walk in the authority Christ has given us on earth, but too often we neglect or overlook the importance of first living in submission and obedience to Christ.
