You Think Your Life Is Sorted? Well Think Again! Series

Contributed by John Foster on Mar 5, 2007

Some people have heard of the teachings of Jesus Christ. They have read the bible. They have eaten the bread and drank the wine in church. The trouble is that although they know OF Jesus they do not yet know him personally.

This is the first episode in our 10:30am series of sermons leading up to Easter and just beyond. Over the next few weeks we are walking with Jesus through the latter part of ...read more

Contributed by Reuben Bredenhof on Feb 2, 2021

Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Apr 14, 2022
