God Reached Down to Us
By: Troy Burns
Series: Standalone
As Troy reminds us in this week's standalone message, we were all in a deep hole from which it was impossible to escape, but God reached down to us when He came to the earth in the person of Jesus Christ. He jumped into the hole with us, and He rescued us, because He's been there before and He knows the way out.

Jul 18, 2021Growing Up is Hard to DoBy: Troy BurnsSeries: StandaloneIn a standalone message, Troy shares how there’s nothing like seeing someone grow from birth to maturity, and how there's nothing more fearful than watching someone who should grow to maturity remain a child.
