Baptism is a necessary sacrement of Christianity, so the same is true for evangelism. Whether it is preaching to crowds or speaking in a one-on-one setting, we each should be prepared to share the good news of Jesus Christ.

This week we explore the powerful message of unity and reconciliation in the body of Christ. Invisible walls and comfortable tribalism can stifle the transformative power of the gospel.

This week we explore the profound transformation that occurs when we become Christians. We are more than "just improved" but brought from death to life.
