Problematic Passages

Joel Brantner • Malachi 3:10, 2 Kings 2:23–25, Deuteronomy 6:16, Matthew 4:7

Congregational Meeting Announcement

Joel Brantner • Ephesians 6:10–20, Galatians 2:20, Matthew 6:33, Luke 14:26

Pastors leave good churches. It's not always the case that a pastor has had a moral failure or a church has been so difficult that it requires a pastor leaving. God is the Senior Pastor and the only Shepherd of His church and He determines how the church is mixed and arranged. Listen to Pastor's Joel's announcement about His last Sunday with us on Sunday, July 7, 2024.

May 26, 2024 • Joel Brantner • Luke 15:11–22, Romans 6:23, Ephesians 2:1–5, Romans 1:6
