Sermon # 20 - Seeing Ourselves As God Sees Us Series

Contributed by Andrew Dixon on May 30, 2023

How often we allow our circumstances or people around us to shape the opinion we have of ourselves. Instead let’s look up to the Lord, and study His word to understand who we really are from God’s point of view.

Contributed by Raymond Petzholt on Nov 28, 2022

Which foundation of Faith will you choose to find life? The Revelation of an omniscient God which reveals your life has eternal value and purpose or the theory of ignorant men that says you are an accident of time and chance without real purpose in life?

Freedom

Contributed by Roger Hasselquist on Jul 2, 2021
