NEW SERMON SERIES

"I See You"

God creates, knows, loves, andsees all of us in our full humanity. But as people, we can fall into the habitof assuming everyone is the same or everyone is like us. While we share acommon humanity, these assumptions can be harmful and prevent us from trulyseeing other people and listening to their perspectives. By looking at Biblicalstories, this series will help us learn how to listen to, respect, affirm, andact for and with others. In doing so, we can also come to know God even morefully.

Hearing OtherVoices | Scripture: Mark 10:46-52

We can be so busy on our mission, that we stop listening. Yet, asChristians, we cannot fully engage in our mission without taking the time tohear the voices on the side of the road.
