It Starts with Faith
This Sunday we look forward to worshiping the Lord as we gather around His table, offer prayers of intercession and hear the Word. Pastor Jim Renke will be starting a new series through 2 Peter 1:3-8. It’s called a “Farsighted Faith.” What does it look like to live faith with a long-view? Peter tells us that it offers us an opportunity to be more successful and effective in our life with Christ.
