Tell Us A Story: A Story of Spiritual Incinserity

October 1, 2023 • Pastor Mark Schutz • Matthew 21:23–32

Tell Us A Story: A Story of Perplexing Generosity

September 24, 2023 • Pastor Mark Schutz • Matthew 20:1–16

In fact, he gives us what we don’t deserve, and that’s called grace. No, God is not fair. He is breathtakingly generous.
