Hebrews 13:7 sets out that one God-given encouragement to get us going again (and keeping us going) is the remembrance of the legacy we have each received from faithful gospel leaders.
At our Local Conferences in 2020 we considered why obeying the instruction given in Hebrews 13:7 is so necessary. Johnny Prime, one of FIEC's Associate National Directors gave this talk as part of one of the Local Conferences which moved online due to the coronavirus pandemic.
