Faith
Pastor Paul believes that it is time for us to revisit the foundational truths about faith and take a look once again at what faith is. Let us consider the possibility that there are things about faith that we have not fully seen yet.
In the midst of open doors and shakings, we are on the verge of the possibility of some major breakthroughs for the Kingdom of God; it is not going to happen without faith because without faith it is impossible to please God.

Week 3: Faith and the Power of God's Promise
