Christian formality? Or flowing with Jesus?

Jesus is eternal, but sermons aren’t supposed to be

Put people in their place–made in God’s image
To put people in their place, lift them up. People aren’t verbal punching bags. They’re bearers of the image of God. Kind responses to conflict may not bring peace, but at least they don’t escalate it. To continually fuss and … Continue reading
