After the French Revolution, however, nineteenth- century science began to…
Love God, Love Others
Sermons (Page 25)
Who am I? This profound question of identity and meaning has been asked by generation for thousands of years, maybe since the beginning of time. In Ephesians, Paul takes his shot at answering this question, but he adds a qualifier… “In Christ” Join us as we discover who we are, in Christ. Scripture: Ephesians 1:3-13;…
