Seeing The Unseen - Part 2

How do we navigate from the temporary grief we see and experience so vividly in this temporal life to the unseen glory we experience in the real, eternal life God provides His children? Join Pastor Todd Pierce in this second part of a two-part sermon, "Seeing The Unseen." So much of what is real to us - like a broken heart - cannot be seen. Most of what we DO see with the human eye is, in fact, not real. Todd helps us to understand that the one real thing we do not see correctly is… “me.” Buckle up for a fascinating trip through the universe, revolving 4 ways at once, and moving from the “public me” to the “real me.”

We can see matter but not what’s the matter!
