What kind of church shall we be?

What kind of church shall we be?  Jesus today encounters two people in need of his powerful love.  In these encounters we find the blueprint of what kind of church we are called to be.

Mentors in faith

      1. 10.11.15 sermon

Perhaps the most significant verse of the Old Testament is from Deuteronomy:  “Hear O Israel, the Lord your God is one.”  Shortly after declaring this, Moses instructs the people in how to raise up the next generation in faith.  Powerful words for us today.
