Start Right to Finish Well

Start Right to Finish Well

In the opening message of the Job series, Pastor James lays a powerful foundation on what it takes to finish life well, even if you didn’t start off right. Using the life of Job as the model, this sermon emphasizes the power of devotion, daily decisions, and spiritual discipline. Pastor James challenges us to stop living by emotion or intellect alone and instead align every decision with God’s Word. Learn how devotion leads to promotion, how Satan targets your family and finances, and how you can guard your heart and your home through spiritual intentionality.
