Good Shepherd Barrhaven Sermon Stream

Saints are an important part of Christian life and practice, but controversies about them can keep us from appreciating this importance.

They were able to do so because they kept their eyes fixed on God's kingdom and believed that His promises of blessing would come true.Scripture Reference: Luke 6:20-36Preached on All Saints' Sunday, November 3, 2019 by Rev.
