"Ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you. For everyone who asks receives, and the one who seeks finds, and to the one who knocks it will be opened." (Matthew 7:7-8, ESV)

Matt Maddix: BOTT 2005

Matt Maddix preaching on soul winning at ‘Because of The Times 2005

Matt Maddix challenges us to become ’soul winner-aholics’ in this passionate message originally preached at BOTT 2005. This is message stirred me deeply the first time I heard it, and has encouraged, provoked and compelled me every time I’ve watched it since (and I’ve watched it at LEAST 30 times)

What do you think about this message? Are you a soul-winner-aholic yet?
