John 8:1-11 · Galatians 5:4

Forgiveness Isn't Permission

1 Samuel 17:1-58

Gideon's Call

This sermon examines how Gideon's doubts about God's presence and power kept him from recognizing his own calling, showing that God sees potential in us that we often fail to see in ourselves and invites us to live according to his truth about who we are.

Undenominational Christianity

Give Me Jesus...Only
