Description

This Sunday Pastor Josh Kelsey launched our new series, PERFECT LOVE! God wants us to grow in love so that we can show others His true love. His agape love is a one-way love that expels fear in our lives — and since fear is a spirit not a feeling, it takes the Spirit of God and His perfect love to drive out all fear. Where fear leads us into bondage, God’s Spirit of Love will lead us and others into true freedom.
