Love God, Love Others
Sermons by Steve Ebsen
Faith, what is it and how is it received? Is it just another form of works? Can it be built up like your muscles in a gym? Here are the 3 key points:1) It is in our weakness that we find our strength. 2) Faith in God is not received by God’s people building it…

In a world hopelessly marred by sin and after spending over 400 years in physical slavery to Egypt, the Lord redeemed His people and in the sanctuary service He enlarged their understanding of salvation.
