This is the sermon clip entitled Honest to God that should have appeared last week. Sorry. Sometimes life gets a bit busy.
In this short sermon clip, Greg introduces the idea that one of our base needs is to be understood and loved fully for who we are.

In this sermon, Greg shows how we need to be honest with God in our prayer.
