What To Do About A Broken-Down Church

Contributed by Joseph Smith on Jan 7, 2009

"What Goes Up Must Come Down" Series

Contributed by David Henderson on Aug 7, 2017

How do we find unity when we are surrounded by so much difference? The key to is finding harmony.

“What goes up, must come down” Philippians 2:1-11 One of the truths of Scripture that we often struggle with even though it is absolutely true, is that Jesus was both God and man at the same time.
