Episode 44: We are so excited to have Terry Parkman join us again for today's episode on what it truly means to disciple this next generation. Pastor Terry explains that our world today is post modernism, post church, and post truth. This means that culture today is moving from facts and truth and toward feelings, personal desires, and sin to be their truth. In the world's view, it doesn't matter what the facts say, because you can just create your own truth. The next generation is getting taught to live this way, and we need to be equipped to truly minister to them!
When you live in obedience and when you're faithful with what you've been given, hear the "well done." In this message, Pastor Rob challenges us to stand strong and work for the "well done."
Pastor Rob Ketterling continues in our Christmas Series and encourages us to stop in all the busyness to worship our Savior!
