Sunday Sermons

Last updated

This is my story of growing up in the church since I was a little girl. God used every Sunday sermon to develop a firm foundation in Him. I didn't realize just how deep my roots were in Him from all those years of showing up to church each Sunday until I encountered hardships in my life. No matter what happens in life - even losing a loved one, I can always go back to that foundation of truth that the Lord planted in me through each of those sermons. This song is to remind you to cling to the One who's consistent and faithful. Jesus loves you more than you could ever imagine.

Reception

Critical response

Jonathan Andre of 365 Days of Inspiring Media gave a positive review of "Sunday Sermons", saying: "the song is a reminder that we must not place tremendous importance on the big moment in someone's life, that just because someone has a 'w0ow' moment and they come to Christ in a profound way, doesn't mean that someone else's experience of growing up in a Christian home and becoming a Christian that way, is anything less than valid."
