January 29, 2023 “Upstream Resolutions“ 9 am and 10:45 am
The Bible calls followers of Jesus to no longer be conformed to the pattern of the world, but to be transformed instead. What does that mean for Christians in the 21st Century? Today we look at three resolutions that distinguish Christians from non-believers; resolutions that help us “Live Upstream in a Downstream World”. Read Romans 12:2 and Daniel chapter 1 to prepare.
