The Mission Statement of Jesus

Sermon | January 22, 2023

Good morning. Today’s passage is one that is close to my heart. I’ve stood on the shores of the sea of Galilee many times, looking out at boats as fishermen cast their nets into the glistening water. Fishing is such an act of faith; though maybe that’s just what somebody who has no skill fishing

Let Us Walk Humbly With Our God
