Checking for Blind Spots

5/17/2022

 
Text: John 7.40-52

Blind spots. All vehicles have them to varying degrees. They can be disastrous, even leading to serious injury because they can hide entire vehicles to the unwary eye.

Thinking Clearly About Abortion

5/10/2022

 
Text: James 4.5

The leaked Supreme Court opinion overturning federal protection for abortion has put the issue center stage for the culture war in our country.

I.O.U.

3/15/2022

 
Text: Galatians 6.1-5

We understand that we owe Jesus the entirety of our heart, soul, mind, and strength as our Savior. But what do we owe each other in Christ? We will consider the Christian's I.O.U. by considering Paul's instruction in Galatians 6.1-5.

2/21/2022

Date: Sunday, February 13th
