Image Power (2 of 7)
Improving Your Image – A Whole You for a Holy God
Stan Coffey
Psalm 37:4-5; Psalm 139:13-14
We just started a new series of messages. I introduced it last week. It is called "Improving Your Image – A Whole You For A Holy God."

And the Bible says that God wants to give you the desires of your heart. He wants to make you all that you possibly can be. But you must see yourself in His image. And in the image of Jesus Christ and appreciate your self for who God made you to be. Now, this passage of S ...
