Here I Stand

SUNDAY, OCTOBER 26, 2025 | REFORMATION DAY (Observed) Revelation 14:6–7 | Romans 3:19–28  | John 8:31–36 Here I Stand — Grace, Mercy and Peace be to you from God our Father and the Lord, Jesus Christ.

But meanwhile,…

You Can’t Serve Two Masters

Grace, Mercy and Peace be to you from God our Father and the Lord, Jesus Christ. Amen. There has been a lot going on in our nation lately. I’ve been processing it. You’ve been processing it. The murder of Charlie Kirk and the aftermath has shocked and shaken us. And of course there’s been a lot of analysis. Everyone is trying to tell us what all this means.
