DUNCAN/The heartbeat of true piety

If you have your Bible, I’d invite you to turn with me to Psalm 111 as we continue our way through the fifth book of the Psalms. This psalm not only exhorts us to praise God, but it also shows us how to praise God. Additionally, it identifies to us what lies at the core of a Biblical piety.

GETTING THE MESSAGE/God’s grace is sufficient

We are looking at the 6th trumpet judgment in the 2nd half of Revelation chapter 9.
