Keep the Faith Until the Vinegary End | Pastor Tom Golden
This week Pastor Tom starts a new Sermon Series called Leave Your Legacy. The Apostle Paul did not get to retire, as some of us would like to. His retirement was from a prison cell. But he kept the faith, and left a legacy for Timothy to become the next Apostle. Pastor Tom uses Apple Cider Vinegar to show us what it’s like when we hear sound doctrine: and leave a legacy of faith. It’s hard to swallow and your face puckers up: but it’s good for, not just you, but the people who come after you.
