This sermon explores the transformative power of God's love and hope, encouraging believers to live as God's children and anticipate a future in Christ's likeness.
Good morning, family. We are here, together, in this place of worship. We are here to share, to learn, to grow. We are here to feel the warmth of God's love and the touch of His grace.

It's a love that seeks justice, that shows mercy, that serves. It's a love that gives, that sacrifices, that saves.
