Ordinary Proper 22: Our individualistic orientation as a culture has brought many ills upon us. Among those is the deterioration of the family. This message looks at Jesus’ teaching on the intention of God for men and women and children.

Contributed by David Dunn on Jan 5, 2026

I mean something much more personal than that—something that settles into your chest and refuses to leave. Have you ...read more
