The Sound TestLIVE - 07/12/18 [Weekly VGM Radio & Podcast] - REMASTERED!Since I'm away in Ireland this week, I've cooked up another old school ST remaster! This one's our third ever episode, from nearly two years ago.

Anchor Church CityWorryGuest preacher Rev Stuart Coulton challenged us to whole-hearted devotion to God. Serving any master apart from God leads to anxiety. Instead of being preoccupied with money, career, or lifestyle, we need to seek first God's kingdom knowing that our Father loves us and will provide for our needs.
