Metter Methodist Messages

You were made to follow Jesus, but not alone. Ephesians 4 shows that the calling that saves us also binds us to each other, and the Christian life only works the way God designed it when we live it together.

Rev. Brock Burnett guests preaches on the topic of prayer.

A warning sign on the Jerusalem temple said any outsider who crossed the barrier would personally be responsible for their death. Jesus didn't negotiate with that wall.
