1 Corinthians Week 57

I was so excited and grateful to see you all this morning!  Getting back into 1 Corinthians 6 was awesome.  After dealing with the constant battle of the influence of the old man / the flesh in verses 9 & 10, it was wonderful to start looking into verse 11, realizing that we are washed, sanctified, and justified … Read more
