A Jesus Centered Community of Scripture, Faith, and Grace
Sermons from 2019 (Page 3)
We talk about integrity and how we are called to integrity, but how Jesus’ integrity covers us even when ours is lacking. Sermon Scripture: Luke 14:25–35 Now great crowds accompanied him, and he turned and said to them, “If anyone comes to me and does not hate his own father and mother and wife and…
We begin a new series called Enduring Faith, a study that goes through the details of some of the most prominent stories of the Bible.
