First Things First for Sand and Gravel People!
Have you ever admitted?“I am a sinful person…Lord, You
shouldn’t be around me!”Have you listened to what Jesus says to
people after they open up their sin stuff to Him?
“Don’t be afraid! Follow Me!”Have you responded with trusting faith
to follow Him?
First Things First
A “Rock-like” Christian starts out as a “Sand and Gravel” person who has become a
“Sand and Gravel” Christian.
The Beginning Point: Meeting Jesus through trusting belief
and following Him!
Has it begun for You?
I Want you…
