NEW SERMON SERIES FOR AUGUST
During Jesus’s ministry we find him preaching, teaching, caring for those in need, and participating in miraculous events. These miraculous events are reflections of God’s willingness to perform the extraordinary, but are we missing something? During the month of August, we will reread the powerful stories of Jesus’s miracles with water and see the ripple effect God was creating.
