When Unity Means Trouble
This morning we have the privilege of worshiping the God of all Creation. He is the source of life now and life everlasting. He also, since our early days, has been working out his plan of redemption. He is the One we’ll bring glory to in song, prayers and the Word. Pastor Jim Renke will be sharing from one of the most well-known passages, the Tower of Babel (Genesis 11:1-9). Come, let’s discover the depths of God’s love together.
