When you sit down to eat with a ruler, consider carefully what is before you; And put a knife to your throat if you are a man given to appetite. Do not desire his delicacies, for they are deceptive food. Proverbs 23:1-3 Our new political 'rulers' are putting some very deceptive 'meat and drink' on the table. Beware!

We hope you enjoy this sermon as Pastor Ray continues the "Welcome to the Jungle" series with a powerful prophetic teaching on the biblical principle of how human hearts are revealed when "Tested At The Table".
