The world needs Jesus no less today than it did 2,000 years ago. And you, beloved brother and sister in Christ, are the means, you are the continued incarnate presence of Jesus Christ in the world.
In this episode of Encounter Recovery Ministries, Rick Peterson dives into the profound purpose of a Christian's life - to become more like Jesus.
