The Truth is Worth Living For

NOTES:

This is a sermon about the Waldenses — a faithful group unwavering in their faith. Living and caring for one another. And staying faithful in the midst of empire.

The Waldenses didn’t just hide Scripture in their heart—the hid Jesus Himself.

Truth isn’t a list of words or doctrines. Truth is a person. And He is worth living for.
