    In our scripture today, God calls us Christ’s ambassadors. What exactly does that mean? An ambassador is someone who represents the interests of their homeland in a foreign country. Spiritually speaking, we are to represent Jesus and invite others

Maybe you were invited by someone or maybe you grew up in this church and you’re here because of your family. Even those of you who came here on your own, more than likely ...read more
