Sermon Updates
“Don’t you know what happens when power is weaponized? If we use power in this way how are we any different? How is God’s dream for this earth any different than the nightmares of war and abuse and genocide and oppression…in this world? It is not to be this way with you…what manner of spirit are you living in? The spirit to kill and destroy or the Spirit to heal, to save, to bring new life?”
For those of you who missed it, or want to give it another listen, here is a link to the sermon from Sunday, “The Power of Love” given by Chase Andre.
