Am I building what Jesus is building with my life and my resources?
In this message from Pastor David Lindell, we are confronted with a defining question about whether our priorities align with God’s heart to reach the lost through His Church—starting locally and extending to the ends of the earth. Our prayer is that God would speak clearly to your heart, stir your faith to action, and invite you into a supernatural journey of generosity that produces eternal fruit.
