Trinity Sunday, June 4, 2023 - Live Streamed at 9:30 AM

Blessed Assurance
Paul's final words of encouragement to the Corinthians are a reminder to them of Christ's steadfast presence as they go about their ministry. It is the fulfillment of Christ's promise to be with his followers "even to the end of the age." We are reminded to rest assured in that same knowledge.
