We Can’t Take the Bible Literally

We are in the fight of our lives, but we do not do battle alone. God has power which he gives to us — not to beat the enemy into submission, but to stand firm in the love of God.
View SermonInseparable
Each week the people of God receives a benediction. This is more than a last word to wrap up the service, or even a sending of the church back into the world. The benediction is a spoken blessing which has power to shape those receiving it.
