God’s Will vs. The Tyranny of Self Part 1
Who am I? What is my purpose? What is God's will for my life? When Jesus prepared for his death, wrestling with being the final sacrificial lamb for the nation of Israel and the world, he sweat drops of blood. He begged his disciples to watch and pray with him. "The spirit is willing, but …
