Contributed by Ron Ferguson on Aug 16, 2022

Between Two Advents (Revelation 20) Series

Contributed by James Jackson on Nov 30, 2025

We come into worship this morning with what may be a once-in-a-lifetime alignment of circumstances, at least as far as a church calendar goes. It’s the first Sunday of Advent, when we begin focusing on Jesus’ coming into the world. It’s ...read more
