Engaged in His Mission (2 of 2)
Series: We Exist
Michael White
2 Corinthians 5:13-21
We are in the middle off a short series called WE EXIST that's based on our mission statement which is in your bulletin. It's an exposition of our core values.
We exist to glorify God through obedience to His Word, devotion to His body, and engagement in His mission.

We implore you on behalf of Chr ...
