- Over a period of time, we tend to hear many sermons about faith, grace, or other standard topics. In this message, special guest speaker John Vereecken reminds us that much of our success as Christ followers is based on guts - the courage or determination to go all the way in serving God. If you just tighten up your belt and determine you are going to commit to whatever God has for you, you can accomplish anything He wants you to do.
