Godcast #132 - Good Slander: Bro. Jim Duffel

Good Slander
Acts 11:25-26 In this Sunday evening service, Bro. Jim explains to us that choosing to call yourself a Christian doesn’t help you get into Heaven. The first church in Antioch were called Christians as a derogatory term but it was accurate and they must have been happy to be called that. Not only does the label Christian indicate that you follow Jesus Christ but it means that you are a replica of Christ with all the blessings and the hardships that go along with that distinction.
