Sermons from 2025
That they may be one

A Blessing of Power
Ephesians 3: 14-21 We will explore Paul’s prayer/blessing for the church at Ephesus. We will explore the interconnectedness of power, love, knowledge and God’s dwelling within us.
The Priestly Blessing

The Power of Words

Let the Children Come to Me
Matthew 19: 13-15 Jesus’s teachings placed children in a dignified place and led believers to care for the kids that no one else cared about. Caring for children and orphanages are powerful forms of missions.

A Blessing of Children
