reBUILD in the Face of Greed

February 28, 2016 by Brad Murphy Leave a Comment

Greed in any culture will cause oppression, manipulation, and the collapse of that society. God has designed a plan for our finances that will allow us to overcome greed and be free to be generous.  In this sermon from Nehemiah 5, you will be encouraged to stop the cycle of debt and live free.
