In this morning's message, I explored this question through an understanding of the gospel. Check out this message and discover how we can find a hope that overflows.

Paul addresses seemingly petty squabbles between Christians and shows us a deeper underlying problem.

Paul shows us how living in light of the gospel means that we owe a debt of love to ALL people. But be careful when it comes to using debt language when it comes to Christ Himself.

Just in time for election season, Paul brings us to the Christian's response to government and politics.
