Faith For All
by Cross of Glory
Welcome to the Cross of Glory ”Faith For All” podcast. It’s really two podcasts in one. For the first podcast, we will be posting sermons that were given on Sunday mornings, during Sunday services. We will be posting sermons that have “important to hear” messages, that were interesting, and carried meaning for everyone. The second podcast type will be a group of people from the church who will discuss...well...something. The topics could range from pop culture to the biblical history, from world events to chickens. We hope you can join us while we look at Faith For All.
