There’s nothing quite like it. In the…

A few years ago, we studied 1 John together, but we have never studied 2 and or 3 John during my time as your pastor. So I thought it was high time we did that at the beginning of this year. This week, we’ll study 2 John, and next week, Lord-willing, we’ll look at 3 John. A…
