The Worship Design Team has not been reading our Bibles lately--gasp!Let me clarify and say that we have not been reading them together.

In fact, as we turn our attention to Hebrews 13 this week, the reality is that we could easily break this up into four or five more Sundays. The reason f...  Read More
