The Law of the Spirit
We’re in Matthew 5 if you want to grab a Bible and turn there. We’ve been trying to understand the way of Jesus. We’ve been trying to get a vision for the righteousness of God.

It is the thing that lives on beyond Living Streams. It is the thing that was there before Living Streams or whatever other church you might be a part of.
