The Rough Side of the Mountain part 1

September 10, 2022

There’s a misconception that many new Christians have. They somehow think that since they are now saved, all the troubles in life will suddenly disappear. As we know, that’s hardly the case. In fact, it is usually the opposite that takes place - the trials increase. But the truth, God will use the tough times in life to increase our faith in Him. Let’s join pastor Al Pittman for today’s study in Acts chapter fourteen, titled “The Rough Side of the Mountain”.
