Life is Not a Gamble

Selected highlights from this sermon

Most unbelievers view life as a gamble. But is it? As Christians, we know that our life is lived by choice. It’s a life lived to serve others and to live for spiritual matters not material possessions. The Christian can look at the cross and know that life is not a gamble because of what Jesus has done.
