Neither of you has a clue what the other is ...read more

    The sermon encourages believers to move beyond comfort, pursue spiritual growth, and press on with perseverance, relying on God’s grace rather than personal strength.

    When you are knocked off your feet, blind with tears or pain or even a light like the one Paul saw, the first thing to do is seek God.

    This has been a bad week. It started with one of the worst tragedies that has ever hit our country.
