Devotional Sermon #97: ARE YOU A RESPONSIBLE PERSON? - Our greatest sermons of all time

I am going to deal with a very important topic. I am going to focus on the need for each one of us to always act responsibly and I am glad that you've spared some time to read this sermon.

Abraham believed everything God told Him; hence he was called God’s friend. God told His plans for Sodom and Gomorrah to Abraham.
