P's in the Pod of Power

I preached a message on a Sunday evening several months ago entitled, "P's in the Pod of Power." It's not a new message. In fact, it's one of my oldest messages that I revisit in my preaching. I prepared this for a missions conference at Pillsbury Christian College back when we were on deputation. It was to be for a workshop during that conference. Unfortunately, Pillsbury closed before we were able to have that ministry opportunity. However, the truths God worked in my heart about for that workshop are still truths of which I need to be reminded. 
I do not normally record our Sunday evening service. However, I felt like God would have me record this. I recorded it about 5 months ago and God has also helped me not to delete this off of my phone until I've finally uploaded it. :) So, I hope this will be a blessing, encouragement, and help to someone who takes the time to consider these truths. I can't imagine it not being helpful to anyone who hears it because these are precious truths from God's Word.
