Study the Bible, live to serve.
This was my first time preaching in English, and it took place at NGCC Church. On the night before, I felt a strong attack from the devil—I had no strength and felt unable to share. But whenever I prayed, strength slowly returned; whenever I stopped praying, the strength would drain away. This continued until Sunday morning when I arrived at church, and the attack finally stopped. After I finished preaching, I felt completely relieved.
My topic today is “Love Makes Good Impressions.”
