Preaching and Challenges during Church Services

These are some of my notes of the preaching and challenges during church services preached by our pastor, Pastor Joewe M. Viñegas. I have lots of it but I only selected few because I cannot write it all here. I am very blessed by the message of God so I will share it with you. I hope you will also be blessed by His word.

These are outlines of the preaching. There’s a text from the Bible, a title and points (with corresponding verses). You can also read the verses in your Bible so that you will understand the points more.
