SERMON SERIES: FULL LIFE

This Sunday (2/1):  Godliness

Scripture:  2 Peter 1:5-8

 

I want to thank everyone for the prayers and concerns while I was sick. I feel much better. I will be released from the hospital today and can't wait to see you all this coming Sunday. I want to give a big thank you to Carlos for being willing and very capable to deliver God's Word yesterday on such short notice. This coming Sunday we will learn about the importance of godliness in our daily lives and why we need to add this particular virtue to our faith in increasing measure. - ART
