Sermons from 2025
Herod’s Main Character Syndrome
Matthew 2: 1-8 We will explore how Herod’s insecurity and hunger for power made him reject the good news. Sometimes we, like Herod, choose to reject the things God is doing out of an act of self preservation. We need to learn to take the back seat and let God be the main character.
Speaking in Tongues
James 3:7-12 Link to Full Service
