Part 1 – Commitment, Responsibility, and Accountability To the Local Church

Pulpit Message /

KEY PRINCIPLES FROM THIS MESSAGE: “Freedom comes through servitude.” – Pastor Barfield of High Plains Fellowship Church We are always a slave. Freedom and slavery are not mutually exclusive terms (that’s what Satan wants you to believe). LOVE is not a vapid emotion that “feels” its way to righteousness. Love isn’t love if it lacks

Pastor's Blog /
