Welcome to our Sunday Sermon Podcast! In this sermon, Pastor Matt asks if you are someone who trusts GPS or do you use it as a suggestion? How do we know what we hear on the news or social media is true or not?  How do we know when we need to make a change in our lives?  When we need help, does our pride or cultural pressure get in the way of asking others for the help or advice we need?  How have you experienced God's confirming grace in relationship with others?
