Talks from April 2024
I Believe in Jesus Christ || Joel Snibson || Matthew 1:18-35 & Colossians 1:15-20
There’s no mucking about today; it’s a big topic: How can Jesus be fully God and fully Human- and why does it matter?

Fortunately, your nerdy friend can explain things to you as you go – filling in details and throwbacks that were, at the time, foreshadowing things that are happening now.
