Jesus lived on Earth as a man of peace who turned the other cheek, but He also walked great distances to boldly confront the most powerful people and institutions of the time. In other words, Jesus picked fights, but only certain fights. This is our example. Strange as it sounds, Christians SHOULD pick fights --- but only CERTAIN fights.
This sermon is about learning which fights to pick.This message was originally delivered at New Beginnings Church for the pastoral appreciation of Rev. Errol and Jennifer Davis. The title is: PICKING FIGHTS WITH GIANTS.
Listen well.
