I act right. I'm helpful when I can be. I'm a good citizen. I go to church. I take care of my family. I donate to charity.

For the next few weeks at Flagstone we’re going to look at different characters from scripture who didn’t think they could take it anymore, and we’re going to discover that, when we are at our breaking point, we can actually experience a breakthrough.
