Born Blind

Jesus miraculously healed a man born blind. That was an incredible miracle. Today He does an even greater miracle all the time - He heals us of our spiritual blindness when we become Christ followers.

Foundational Christ

We love salvation stories in our books and movies. Many point back to THE salvation story found in God's Word. In this week's talk from 1 Peter 1, we discover that God's salvation was not a plan "B." He created mankind even knowing the sacrifice required of God's Son. Join me as we celebrate the greatest story ever told.
