Why Jesus? (Sermon Series)

April 14, 2021 by Andrew Burd-Harris Leave a Comment

Starting Sunday, April 18, Pastor Andrew will start a sermon series focused on the question-why Jesus? We will be looking different ways we as Christians might answer the question-why Jesus? The sermon series is inspired by the Reverend Adam Hamilton’s three questions: why Jesus? why the church? and why your church? Join us on us at one of our worship opportunities.
