Loving God and Loving Others: No Fear, No Shame, No Guilt, No Doubt
News that shows on the member page stream
In today’s sermon, Elder Larry Omasta shows us that it’s through the power of God’s love, and not by our own efforts, that we are able to forgive people who have deeply offended us, even though it’s so difficult to do.
Loving God and Loving Others without fear, shame, guilt or doubt
