The resurrection informs our mission as a church, giving us a message to share in word and in deed.
Today as we look at 1 John 2:6, we will see that imitating Christ is seeking to live as Jesus did. We will also see that the primary focus of our lives must be to embody and emulate the character and convictions of Christ Himself.
Today’s Worship
You Are Good
Prince of Peace
Christ Be Magnified
Scripture
1 John 2:6
Message
“Imitating Christ”
