Holy Week Devotional — “Your Sorrow Will Turn To Joy”

Good Morning FBC Family, In my sermon yesterday, I made you the promise of a blog post today. I will make it short and sweet. We have to fight hard to be in the Word and to keep a godly perspective these days. Everyone is at home. Everyone is in transition. Everyone has social media.
