The five truths that changed the world in Luther’s day should be changing us! Last Sunday we anchored our souls in the authority and sufficiency of God’s life-giving word. This week Pastor Sam will bring us to the table of God’s rich and amazing grace—a grace that changed everything for us and that is changing everything about us. Join us as we explore the treasure God has given us by Grace Alone!
