I found the audio from this sermon I taught in 2014, right before depression took me out of full-time ministry. It really meant a lot to me to go back and listen. I hope it blesses you.

The sermon is split into two parts. This is part 1.

If this was a blessing to you, email me: james@nlcast.com

This is the second part of a sermon I taught in 2014 just before anxiety and Major Depressive Disorder took me out of full time ministry.
