This Week's Message



| Pastor Chris Everson | Romas 5:1

As we conclude our “Peace Be With You” series, we look at how we have peace with God. We come to understand that God created the universe, but we want to have all the control. Paul helps us see how when we let God be God, we can fully live in his peace.
