Add Love
This week we are closing off our series “Farsighted Faith.” Pastor Jim Renke will show us how adding the virtue of love makes our faith powerful and effective. God has created and called his church to make an impact in the world. We can’t do that well, if we don’t share in God’s love for the world he came to redeem.
