Add Knowledge
As we gather for worship, we come to offer Him our praise and adoration. He has given us a faith that will guide us for the long-haul. This morning, Pastor Jim Renke will continue our series, A Farsighted Faith from 2 Peter 1:5. We’ll look at the importance of growing in the knowledge of God and the long-term fruit a growing knowledge produces in us.
