How Do I Strengthen My Faith? Series

Contributed by Scott Maze on May 24, 2021

Welcome and thank you for worshipping with us this morning. Keep Colossians 2 open before you, will you? Despite perceptions, people do love change. Many of you have been home with nothing to do for weeks now. If someone had come to you in early January and said, “I’ll give you a three month ...read more
