Sermon Updates

“Can we be a community of faith that never lets ourselves be apathetic about our friends? Let’s never be a community of faith that simply says ‘Look at what we got with Jesus, let’s just sit and enjoy it.’ It’s the equivalent of saying ‘We got all the food in town, who cares if everyone else is starving, let’s just eat up.'” – Chris Rattay
