We just hear and do what we like to ...read more

    The church as God intended it will be affirmative of one another’s gifts, evangelical in spirit, inquiring in mind, comprehensive in compassion, and empowered by Christ.

    I have two requests to make of you this morning as we continue. Two things I need for you to do: First, I am going to ask our ushers to distribute a little document that I have prepared for you.
