Turning The Ordinary Into Extra-Ordinary Series

Contributed by Jeffrey Sims on Nov 27, 2018

This is the beginning of a series on the Miracles of Jesus. In this sermon we look at how Jesus can take something as plain as water and turn it into something much greater. In this same way He can take us and turn us into more than we ever imagined.

He came to America for religious freedom, and he expected to have more of it than anybody was willing to give him. ...read more
