Shadow of Death

Sermon Theme: In various seasons, the wicked thrive while the righteous are rejected and despised. But during dark days of despair, God is faithful. He never leaves or  forsakes His people. So then, Christians are called to endure in the shadow of death, knowing Christ has redeemed us and will keep us forever!
