Pastor Jonathan continues teaching about the word “infirmity” based on it’s use in The Bible related to Paul’s experiences and testimonies. With all that’s going on in the world today and all that we see in the news, it’s important that we live by faith and not by fear. Go forth in God’s strength and do what Jesus calls us to do through The Holy Spirit.
