Sudden Death: Stadium Fall

As you listen, my hope is that you will reflect on what Christ has done in you, and that you will be zealous to share the transforming good news with everyone who needs to hear it.

Every born again Christian should have a testimony prepared. Every born again Christian has a story to tell about how their lives have changed since believing in Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior.
