Hello ,
Does God really forgive a person when they come to Him? Can God truly bring renewal into a person's life when they have given themselves over into His care and keeping?
I would like to encourage you to watch the story of "Goldie" that was preached a number of years ago by a pastoral colleague of Mine, Ron Halverson Sr. It will only take about 10 minutes of your time, and I believe it has the potential to bring great encouragement into the lives of those who watch it.
Have a great day and God bless!
