SUNDAY ASSEMBLY (10:15 AM)
“Spiritual Vision for Life”: June 26 through August 28
As Christians, we are
called to “live by faith, not by sight” and to “regard no one from a worldly
point of view” (2 Corinthians 5:7, 16). So, do we see things the way
the world sees them, or do we see things from a spiritual point of view? In
this series, speakers will present lessons on several topics to help us think
spiritually and see spiritually.
