Sermons on Jeremiah
Waiting Room – Love
The prophet Jeremiah was the messenger that told Judah they were going to be in exile for generations Jeremiah 29:4-14.

Chapter 11 – Pt.3
Overcome the obstacles to faith. God is bigger than your fears. God is bigger than all of your sins. File Chapter 11 on your fears, your pride, your sin and receive the grace He offers.
