Regardless of your age, Pastor Chris shares a few thoughts to consider from our VBS Celebration Sunday. Take a listen!

Feel like you're being tested by God? Using a challenging moment from the life of Abraham, Pastor Chris Paavola gives a powerful sermon that offers you a different way to think about your test.
