Christ, Our Secure Hope
In the person of Jesus, we are given access to a relationship with God. The closer we get to him, the more we will know the security of His love and His work on our behalf. This morning, Pastor Jim Renke will walk us through Hebrews 10:19-25 which gives us a path to grow in the security God and his promises give us. Let’s find the joy of living closely with God.
