Hope: Walking Backwards into the Future
Phil Stedman
Phil walks us through Psalm 105 - the Israelites remembering what God has done - and encourages us that remembering God's faithfulness in the past builds hope for the future. We can build our faith by telling stories of what God has done in our live as a church and in our personal lives.
