Life is full of hellos and goodbyes. Hellos are often joyful because they lead to new beginnings, but goodbyes tend to leave us feeling the loss.

Tune in to learn more about what we have to be prepared to say goodbye to as disciples of Jes...

This is the most lavish display of love—that the Creator of heaven and earth sent His only Son to save His creation. We repeatedly rejected Him while helplessly trying to fill the God-sized void.
