NEW Series! Elisha: Ridiculous Faith
Sermon: Do The Dunk
Speaker: Ken Taylor, Lead Pastor
It's one of the most familiar stories in the Bible and it has a lot to teach us about how God uses pain or the fear of pain in our lives to move us into a relationship with Him. And since we all experience pain to one degree or another the story can be very relevant to everyone. If you are up for a sneak peek the account is found in 2 Kings 5:1-19.
