    In looking into the reality of spiritual authenticity of worship, walk, and witness, this sermon looks into the first part of worship "is not".

    Worship IS NOT! When speaking of the relationship between the Jews and the Samaritans of this time we must understand that there was a hatred and bitterness greater than any that we could probably imagine.

Because the church is converting from bookkeeping by hand to an accounting software, and because our financial leadership does not yet have access to all of that, I began to record transactions on the ...read more
