Jesus Came to Save, Not Condemn

In this powerful story, Jesus is brought a woman with accusations that could lead to stones being thrown at her.

Jesus Seeks the Lost

Share His Love with No Fear
September 29, 2024 • Pastor PJ Aarsvold • 1 Peter 3:13–17
Peter writes a letter to Christians who feel like outsiders now that they have put their faith in Jesus.

What does it look like to answer this simple but powerful question?
Loved by Jesus
