Embark on a Journey of Grace with Colossians: The Father Through Christ
Pastor Dave's message in the Colossian series takes us on a profound journey through Colossians Chapter 1, verses 12-14 and 19-23. His central theme, "The Father Through Christ," unveils the breathtaking reality of salvation - a gift freely given by God's grace through faith in Jesus. It's like receiving a prepaid gift card, except this one covers the cost of eternity!
