Waiting for Christmas | Are You Using the Blessings God Has Given You?

Every once in a while, we hear a story of an elderly person who lived like a pauper right up until they passed away. And then shortly thereafter, it’s discovered they had millions of dollars stuffed in an old mattress. Everybody has the same question: why didn’t they put that money to use? Today on A NEW BEGINNING, Pastor Greg Laurie asks the same question of the blessings God has given us. Are we saving them for a rainy day? We’ll get some good encouragement to put those blessings to use.
