Your sermon, Empty Womb, Full Heart from May 2010 is such a blessing to me, thank you
We go to HFBC and have learned quite a bit. Gregg has a great gift and is great to benefit from his talents. Bible teaching with no holding back.
The teachings from HFBC are excellent, (and no I am not a member) so glad to have found these. They are relevant, balanced, and solidly based on scripture. Pastor Gregg Matte does an excellent job of making the scriptures applicable to everyday life. Thanks so much!
