Shaken Faith and Shattered Hope (1 of 10)
Series: Restoring Your Passion for Life
Stan Coffey
Luke 24:13-21; 28-32
We begin a brand new series of messages today that we will be talking about over the next several weeks.

We wanted to pray, we wanted to teach a Sunday School class, we wanted to be in the word of God, but you know now we have lost that passion. No longer do we want to do those things and now we just s ...
