The Attributes of God’s Greatness: God the Creator, Part 3
Okay. So we’re continuing the study of theology proper, looking carefully at what’s revealed in God the Creator. We’ve talked about God being immortal spirit, triune person, God the creator.

Love Your Enemies, Part 1
Luke 6:27-28 We’re gonna get into Luke 6:27 this morning. Last Sunday as you know, we got a broad overview of the entire sermon. But today we want to drill down into the details.
