In other news they also pulled out of the Narnia series. After a dissappointing $419 Million Worldwide ( ) sounds like to me they were trying [...]

Our first week of our series called “More than a Story” went very well yesterday. It was incredible to see kids really wrestle with the idea that God isn’t angry at them. We gave them the mission of Christ. A rescue mission where we got off of the path that God had for us and [...]
