God Meets Us By the River

This morning we will complete our Elijah series, “He Meets Us”, as we consider the end of Elijah’s journey. And it gives us hope that God will meet us and bring him to himself one day. But how are we living toward that day?  Come, as Pastor Jim Renke leads us through 2 Kings 2.
