Worship as a Weapon
by Ed Newton on August 19th, 2023
Psalm 149:6 (NIV) - "May the praise of God be in their mouths and a double-edged sword in their hands." Our worship is not just a song or a ritual; it is a powerful weapon in our spiritual warfare.

Our worship becomes a double-edged sword, piercing through darkness and re... Read More
