Sunday Morning 11/1/09

Here is the sermon audio for the Sunday morning.  This sermon talks about the power of multiplying by making disciples.  It is amazing to me that the message of this sermon was repeated back to me in many ways at a conference that I attended during this following week.  I think that God has some amazing things prepared for His church here in Langdon and I am excited to see it.  Click play below to listen to the sermon and follow along with the notes as well if you wish.  May the Lord bless you through His Word.
