More Than Conquerors
February 19, 2022
Everyone wants to be a winner, but we often feel like losers. We work so hard to be the best and do our best. We want to be loving husbands, caring fathers, faithful church members, hardworking employees, good neighbors and so much more. We try, but it’s easy to feel conquered. The devil is constantly attacking us. The world lures us away from God and responsibility. Our sinful natures condemn us. Should we just give up? No! God promises that we are MORE THAN CONQUERORS through him who loved us (Romans 8:37). Not only does God promise strength for our battles now; he promises MORE - that nothing will separate us from his love until we live with him in eternal joy as CONQUERORS. Join us on February 19, 2022 to find strength for the battles and guaranteed victory through Christ.
