Sunday’s Sermon Today: Social Principles- The Christmas Jar

Sunday’s Sermon Today – More Than Stories: What Does Forgiveness Look Like? (Gen. 37)
It all starts with a dream, ends up in a nightmare, and somehow ends happily ever after. It’s the ridiculous story of the life of Joseph that never seems to be typical but somehow shows us the miraculous love of … Continue reading

Sunday’s Sermon Today: Wrestling With God (Gen. 32:24-32)

Sunday’s Sermon Today: More Than Stories – Who God Calls (Gen. 15:1-17, Heb. 11:8-16)
