We held our groundbreaking for the new church building on Sunday, June 5. Much work lies ahead of us, but we are so grateful to finally be able begin the actual work of building after so many years of saving and planning.
Judgment is inevitable. Whether judged at the cross or in the future, there is no avoiding the penalty for failure. Today’s sermon allows us to have a preview of future judgment from the perspective of heaven. None are able to avoid the providential day of God’s wrath. Full audio and video of the sermon are [...]
Only one is worthy to receive the praise and honor which is the topic of today’s sermon.
