The Body of Christ

Sep 11, 2023

Dr. Somerville takes a break this week from his 'When in Romans' sermon series to talk about a problem that everyone will recognize is happening in our country, and that is the fracturing of our society into like-minded communities of people who share similar ways of life, beliefs and politics.  To do this as a church weakens the entire edifice, and Dr. Somerville uses Pauls words from 1 Corinthians 12 to encourage us by understanding that the body is strongest when it has all of it's various parts together.  Society is as well when people come together in unity.  Enjoy this timely message!
