Today Pastor Michael looks at Paul's call to us to serve one another in love.  Galatians 5:13 presents us with two options.  Will we use our freedom to serve ourselves selfishly.  Or will we serve one another.  Listen as we discover how God created us to respond to service.

Today Pastor Michael looks at Romans 15:7 where Paul encourages us to accept one another as Christ accepted us.  In our Church we often accept people based on how well they can keep up with our Religious Standards and how well they appear to belong.  Is this how Christ accepted us?  As we look closer at Paul's appeal to us we will learn how to accept and appreciate each other despite our differences.  Acceptance brings unity which makes us stronger together and able to accomplish His purpose for us.
