God's Formula for Going Forward
David Davis
Acts 5:42
How does God want us to move forward in our lives? He has a plan for us and he wants us to get into His flow of traveling through life on a daily basis. I want to give you some suggestions that would served as guidelines for your life.

This is talking about the Great Commission (Matthew 28:19-20).
In other words -- ''For who should I be concerned?''
The Bible says, ''all nations.'' This verse in Acts 4:42 speaks beyond ...
