We are back after a summer hiatus due to technical challenges. This week Pastor Garcia preaches on the Gospel lesson appointed for the 14th Sunday after Pentecost, Mark 7:1-13. In the sermon we consider the difference between the Law of God and the traditions of men. God's Law ultimately leads to the heart of His love for you, where traditions can lead you astray.

To celebrate Pentecost we consider the work of the Holy Spirit in our lives through the lens of God's people in the Old Testament. Ezekiel is given a vision where God promises to breath life back into these dry bones that believe they are cut off. In Christ, dry bones live!
