The Causality of Faith

Christianity is more than a source of personal comfort, it is a cause that acts upon us and produces radical transformation.In this sermon on Acts 16:25–40, Lead Pastor Neil McClendon concludes the study of Acts 16 by examining Paul and Silas in the Philippian prison. Pastor Neil explores the "causality of faith", how true, biblical faith empowers believers to defy difficult circumstances, practice holy restraint, and inspire a desire for God in others.
