We'd love to connect with you https://newlifephilly.churc...

Loving the least among us from the womb to the tomb is how we as Jesus's Apprentices must live.  We'd love t...

Your effectiveness as a disciple of Jesus is not bound up in meeting standards that are impressive to the world but in the simplicity of knowing the crucified Christ. 9 But he said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.” Therefore I will boast all the more gladly about my weaknesses, so that Christ’s power may rest on me. 10 That is why, for Christ’s sake...
