Getting Over Me Part 3
Sunday, 29 August 2010 | Joe Stowell

“Get over yourself.” We all struggle with valuing ourselves above Jesus, as Joe Stowell acknowledges in this final message on “Getting Over Me.” Joe uses the stories of two great evangelists to illustrate the point that Jesus meets us in our suffering with compassion and understanding.

You’ll discover the encouragement and strength you need to stay committed to your journey with Christ. Strength for the Journey  is a series of practical and thought-provoking weekly messages featuring the Bible teaching of Joe Stowell. Approx. Length:  20 minutes.   (read the rest at RBC)
