where is the leader training for spring 2023 volume7–unit 19 session 2
My apologies. I recorded the podcast too late in the week to be uploaded before the weekend. I’ll be working to get ahead on these so they aren’t posted too late again.
Both of the sermon videos for Unit 19, session 1, The Rejection of the Messiah, show that the link is no longer active. Can you refer me to a working link for both Derek Cox sermons?
I just checked both links and they worked correctly. Can you check them again on your end?
My favorite part of this article is the mission for the word of God is important for your every step and process. A few nights ago, my younger cousin told me that he and his companions are looking for a Christian faith resource that could help their youth group ministry with their journey. He asked if I had thoughts on the best worship process. I’m thankful for this informative Christian faith guide article for an appropriate approach. I’ll tell him that it will be much better if they consult a trusted Christian faith resource website as they can provide details about their programs.
