Ascend The Hill with Jeremy Austill

As we continue in our sermon series, GRIT, we come upon David's final steps to becoming King.

Learning to encourage ourselves in those moments, to seek God, and to let go, are integral to a fulfilled life. Here's how! Suppo...

Seasons in life come and go, and a new beginning also means that something else has ended. As we continue in our sermon series GRIT, we look at three specific people in David's life that died and initiated a new beginning for David to step into God's purpose for his life. A prerequisite of crossing over into God’s purposes, is that something has to die. Support the show

The power of having friends and people around you to help you is showcased in the story in Mark 2 of the paralyzed man being lowered through a roof.
