ALL IN (Library) Taught by David and Cecile McCalister - The message of All In is simple: if Jesus is not Lord of all then
Jesus is not Lord at all. It’s all or nothing. It’s now or never. Kneeling at the foot of the cross of Christ and surrendering to
his Lordship is a radical act of dethroning yourself and enthroning Christ as King. Come learn how to be ALL IN!
