Bridge Builders (January 14, 2018 Second Sunday After Epiphany)

Contributed by John Williams Iii on Nov 4, 2021

What is a priest? One way to think about what a priest does is to compare them to being a bridge builder. Why that analogy? A bridge connects pieces of land that are geographically separated, much like a priest helps people connect with God.

BRIDGE BUILDERS (January 14, 2018 Second Sunday after Epiphany) Text: I Samuel 3:1-10 1 Samuel 3:1-10  Now the boy Samuel was ministering to the LORD under Eli. The word of the LORD was rare in those days; visions were not widespread.  (2)  At that time Eli, whose eyesight had ...read more

Transformed By Christ

Contributed by Mark Lindsey on Aug 15, 2022

Why Bethlehem?

Contributed by John Gaston on Dec 10, 2024
