My message was on faith. Four men that had great faith.
Hananiah, Mishei, Azariah and Belteshazzar. This was taken from
the first chapter of Daniel. Read this chapter and find out who
these men really were.
Hebrews 10:38 says a righteous person will live by faith. He-
brews 11:6 says it is impossible to please God without Faith.
A special thanks you to everyone that has helped in getting things
to start services. God says He will supply all our needs and he has.
It has been great fun seeing where all our needs have come from.
Have a great day with Jesus.
