John 6:25-37 | Under Construction Part 8 | May 30, 2021

Matthew 5:13-16 | Under Construction Part 7 | May 23, 2021

Historic Districts preserve the past – as part of a city’s culture they are amazing. They are not, however, the model for the life of a church. Sean Boyd calls us from a cloistered community that looks backwards to a golden era of being and instead challenges us to embrace the outward focused posture of Jesus, living out the gospel as salt and light.
