Sermons on Consequences
2 Samuel 12ff, Galatians 6:7-8
SERIES: David: A Person After God’s Heart Sin Will Take You Further Than You Want to Go SPEAKER: Michael P. Andrus Introduction: More than fifteen years ago Jan and I attended the Praise Gathering in Indianapolis that was sponsored for many years by the Gaithers.
