Sermons on Weakness (Page 2)
From Hamlet’s soliloquy, Dean explores our own “be’s” of boasting, background, building, and blessing to challenge us to be a perfect member of God’s army.
How are you running the “love mile” that you’re in? Dean explores the definition of love and how we can reach completeness as we strive to love God and others.
Fear can affect us in so many ways, at so many different times in our life; Dean discusses the perfect love of God that can cast out all fear from our life.

Continuing in the “Run the mile you’re in” series, Dean discusses what it means to be “unoffendable.”
