Baggage Recap

Friday, August 31st, 2007

Baggage has been the most incredible series we’ve done at Palm Valley Church. God has used this in such an incredible way to bring people to Himself, change hearts, and release people from their hurts, habits, and hang-ups in life.

Baggage Week 1

Sunday, August 5th, 2007

This weekend was without a doubt the most powerful response to any service we’ve ever done. I could just sense God at work, ripping open people’s hearts and dealing with their baggage. It was awesome!
I talked about acknowledging our baggage, assessing the damage it’s done, and allowing God to check it.  You can watch it […]
