Send us Fan Mail This morning, I am beginning a new sermon series called The Power of One Life. Each week this summer, we will be looking at someone from the Bible that can be preached on in one sermon, learning about the impact they had for better or worse as they submitted to God or rebelled against Him. No matter how ordinary we may feel, each of us can be used by God to do extraordinary things...

But Paul is not just a slave but a slave of Jesus Christ, the one who loves him and gave his life for him...

This morning,...
