Sunday, May 3
Worship Service | 9:00 AM and 10:45 AM – Click HERE for livestream.
There is a gospel truth we constantly need in our fight with sin: “there is no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus.” That’s a massive claim at the heart of the gospel, but it’s often misconstrued and misapplied. This Sunday we will look at how Paul wants this truth to land in light of our ongoing sin and the indwelling Spirit.
