Know Surrender
A Podcast discussion on events and talks given at Bootle Protestant Free Church . These are not sermons but thoughts on a sermon. You can find the sermon on our youtube site https://www.youtube.com/@bpfc
Why "know Surrender" it is taken from a pamphlet I was given some years back and is a play on words. "No Surrender" is of course a well know phrase but to "know Surrender" that is to surrender your self to the Lord Jesus, the Christ is more than a well known phrase. It is the key to eternal life.
