Sermon Update
“We are always to be asking Jesus, how am I to die to myself in order to truly live, in order to help multiply me into someone else’s life?… If you want more of God’s power in your life and if you want more of his presence in your life you need to die to more of yourself.” – Pastor Chris Rattay
If you missed the message this past Sunday, along with a very important announcement from Pastor Chris about his medical leave, or want to listen to it again, here is the link to the audio of the message: “New Year, New Death, New Life!”
