Sermon Title: "A Spiritual Rorschach Test"
Like most of the Bible, what we get out of the text is a reflection of what we bring to it. Paul’s struggle is easy for us to identify with, but his faith in God’s redemption gives us hope.
We invite you to join us in worship, either in person or on You Tube (First Christian Church, Conway, Arkansas - YouTube), or you can view the recorded service later on this website--just click on the "Worship Videos" link at the left of the page. You also can view past worship services on the same page of this website.
If you prefer reading (as I often do), and/or want to check out the footnotes that credit and document my sources, click on "Sermon Manuscripts" on the left margin of this page.
Our Sunday School Fall Semester begins August 23! Classes for every age! Visit our Christian Education Page.
I look forward to greeting you soon, hopefully face-to-face, but virtually, if necessary!
Together in the Walk,
Pastor Jim
