    The timing of this sermon is uncanny. Lord Jesus, I praise you for using Pastor Craig to bring me closer to you.

    Today is the second of January. I will study the bible everyday of my life. Grant me grace and the strength oh lord 🙏

    Free from a 20 year addiction! ❤Jesus ❤ God❤
  • October 1st marked 3 years and 9 months alcohol free. It was when I turned it completely over to God that He guided me to what He knew I needed to help me. I share my story publicly in hopes of encouraging others. This Thursday I will give my testimony at Celebrate Recovery at our church. For so many years I had no relationship with God and now I am so thankful to have Him in my life. I see now that all those years I had turned my back on Him, He never turned His back on me.
  • I was so struggling with reading the bible ..this sermon was on perfect timing for me!
  • @dBgvyom..
    A friend of mine suggested we read the Bible together. Turned out to be a wonderful experience. Accountability and growing in Gods word. We misunderstand God our father without this knowledge! The best time I ever invested. Praise God for being enlightened to your word through your servant Andy.
  • @rajinevin7273
    I read the Bible every single morning.... with my husband. We ask the Holy Spirit what book to read. We take turns asking. I don't want to start the day without the Word and Jesus Christ ~ my Shepherd.
  • I surrender my life to you Lord Jesus. Forgive me of my sins. Save me and fill me with your spirit 🙏
  • @indiesoulnaomi
    I can’t even describe how much of a blessing that this video popped up into my suggestions as I was literally thinking of how to better read my Bible. I was just baptized this week and I need more of his word in me and this is the beginning of a beautiful journey, God bless church family.
  • @PutridFlow
    I will study your word every day this week, in Jesus' name, Amen.
  • @ths55
    All my past has led me to this moment, I am so blessed. Not perfect, but have perfect love from God.
  • @babiibexx
    I will study the word every day this week! I do plans on the youversion app. I was going thru some tough warfare, threw away my old bible which was a niv version. I was formerly opening up doors to demonic things(horoscopes,living in sin, addiction), full of vanity, depressed, feeling alone, but NOW I have felt the presence of God, I feel his love for me and I have heard him call my name! I have rededicated my life to him and I thank him for his mercy and grace everyday! Hallelujah 🙏🏼❤️
  • @L.A.S._97
    😂😂😂 I read that exact verse of Ezekiel when I was a teenager, doing the "lucky-dip method." This is such a testimony to me! God definitely has a sense of humour.
  • @kmshelton27
    I will study the Word of God every day this week! Great message! Thank you!
  • Great sermon pastor Craig. I got saved from pornography when I met my fiance a year and 3 months ago. I told God that I did not want to start our relationship with watching porn and I havent even seen those images or videos once. Thank you so much the encouragment with the sermons especially the relationship sermons.
  • I will study the word every day. 🙌 Yes I am surrendering my life back to Jesus 🙌🙌🙌 Hallelujah
  • @1mphly117
    I will study the bible from now onwards daily . Thank you Jesus for coming into my life
