Sermons on Salvation
Psalm 27
SERIES: Psalms, Cries of the Heart The Cry of Fear SPEAKER: Michael P. Andrus Introduction: It’s a delight to be back worshiping with you this morning for the first time since June 15. I want to thank you for praying for me during my travels, and particularly during the past three weeks when I was in Venezuela.

2 Timothy 1:8-18

Galatians 6:11-18
The Heart of Our Faith Introduction: It’s been a long and somewhat methodical journey through the Epistle of Paul to the Galatians. Six chapters in six months! But it’s been an exciting trip.
