TO THEM THAT BELIEVE
by REV. NORMAN LEE LIVINGSTON
Pastor and Founder of the West Dayton Free Will Baptist Church, 4711 Blueberry Avenue, Dayton, Ohio. This is my first sermon on an album. I was led by the Lord to make this album. We pray and trust in the Lord that the sermon and songs will be a blessing to everyone, and that it will lead some lost soul to Christ.
I was born in Overton County, Tennessee. I am the son of Mr. and Mrs. B. L. Livingston of Rickman, Tennessee. In May of 1950, I married Velma Looper, the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Willie Joe Looper also of Overton County, Tennessee. We now have three daughters and one son: Debbie 15, Angela 10, Norma Gayle 8, and Timothy Lee 3.
I was converted in a Revival Meeting in August of 1953 in Dayton, Ohio, where Rev. Carson Whitaker was the Evangelist. I was ordained to preach the Gospel in 1955. In 1958 we founded the Church that I have been Pastor of since then. Starting my ninth year as Pastor, I have preached numbers of Revival Meetings in Ohio, Indiana, Kentucky, and Tennessee. We have witnessed many souls turning to the Lord. Please remember my family and I in your prayers.
I have started my 6th year in Radio Ministry.

John 3:14-16 KJB: 14 And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, even so must the Son of man be lifted up:
15 That whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have eternal life.
16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.
