Who Are You? Series: "Go the Extra Mile"

We continue our journey into the question, "Who Are You?" to discover that "who we are" is indelibly linked to "Whose we are." Living fully into who we are produces abundance that overflows to others. This week, Jesus invites us to go the extra mile - beyond the boundaries of what is socially-acceptable - to love those on the edges.
