OK. This morning - let's talk - we're gonna talk about Emotional Restoration.

And that's what we do when we harbor these negative emotions in our minds but here's good news - Jesus died to set us free. He died so that if we would learn to trust the sovereignty of God at work in our life and if we would depend upon God's supernatural strength then we can refuse to h ...
