The Hardest Things to Give to God: My Relationships
Show Notes
Last weekend, Pastor Robbie began a new series called “The Hardest Things to Give to God”. One of the most challenging areas of our lives to turn over to the Lord are RELATIONSHIPS. That is what we are going to focus on together in God’s Word this weekend. Even though it’s hard sometimes, we’re going to ask the Lord to help us learn how to give our relationships to Him.The Hardest Things to Give to God: My Relationships1. When I don’t have onea.
