We’re in the middle of a series of studies in Acts, and in chapter fifteen we observe a disagreement over how a person is really saved. Some suggest that works come into play in the salvation process, and others contend no we’re saved by grace through faith and that alone. Those two camps are still around today, in case you haven’t noticed. To support this ministry financially, visit: https://www.oneplace.com/donate/302/29

When we know of a person that’s living in sin, it’s tempting to just look the other way and think it’s none of our business!

Pastor Ed Taylor will help us with that as we pay another visit to Second Corinthians two. To support this ministry financially, visit: https://www.oneplace.com/donate/302/29
