Awake Us Now

We explore Truth #8: "We are all called to be witnesses of Jesus Christ." From Acts 1:1-8 Pastor explores the ways we are His witnesses: lifestyle, language and by the love we share, show and give to others. Love is the heart of the Bible's message, that God's steadfast love endures forever. Love is the way we demonstrate the character of God and how we bear witness to the loving Son of God who gave His life for us all.
