RG AUDIO 011118   Hebrews 12:1-13 Jesus was resolute in accomplishing His Father’s will. He kept himself in perfect alignment with God.

RG AUDIO 010418   Isaiah 5:20-30 “I was recognized a million times today. Even two casting directors said they were my fans.” Celebrities often try to sound humble, but actually brag in the process.
