Join us on March 23 at the 9 am worship service as Rev. Dr. Craig Alwin shares the sermon “Second Chances.” Here are a few awareness questions to consider for this Sunday’s sermon.
- What similarities, differences, and relationships do you see between the Biblical concepts of judgment, repentance, mercy, and grace?
- When have you experienced a “second chance” in life?
- How do we “bear fruit” in living out our Christian faith?
- What are ways that we might bear new fruit as a congregation?
