Title: Speak Up!
Topic: Discipleship
Scripture: Matthew 10:24-31
“Vision leaks,” a writer once stated. Organizations must revisit their mission from time to time to remember why they exist. Churches are no different.

Should the Church of Jesus Christ adjust God’s Word so that it can better relate to our culture and not be offensive to the academically elite? We’ll discuss that question in this week’s sermon.

Title: The Importance of Time
Topic: Lifestyle Questions
Scripture: John 9:1-3
