This Sunday, May 1 st , Pastor John will share a message entitled, Search and Rescue Mission. This is part 5 in the series Doubt. I know I said last week that it was time to end the series on Doubt, but there was one more sermon scribbled in my notes that I couldn't put away. It is such an important message and takes us in a different direction on doubt. If you know friends or coworkers that have doubts about their faith then make sure to be here - this will help to shape your approach to a world that is filled with doubt.
