Reference

Colossians 1:15-23

“You are enough.” This is a buzz phrase today, often propagated by well-intentioned wisdom dispensers who are trying to make others more self-reliant and strong, but is there a danger to believing YOU are enough? As we continue in our What About the Cross? Series, we are going to find that Jesus did something else for us on that Friday – something that is entirely relational and something that changes our value, direction, and identity. Join us for “Family Feud Canceled.”
