Nit Pickers And Drop Givers

Contributed by Rev Ken Shedenhelm on Jul 6, 2013

The love we sow is the love we will reap. One of the marks of the church is the love which members show to one another, We are called to love one another as Christ loves us, and Paul speaks to this in his letter to the church at Galatia.

The good news is that we can do it- if we become new creations in Christ, we can show His love to others in meaningful and concrete ways. This morning, ...read more

Vision Of The Lord Series
