The Few, the Fearful, the Faithful (6 of 8)
Series: Journey in Faith
Ernest L. Easley
Hebrews 11:32; Judges 6-7
What an exciting day in the history of our church! There are only a few times in our lives when we have the opportunity to do something great! I suppose there are less than a handful of defining moments in our lives.
