Be My Witness Message Series
Six Weeks beginning April 30th

After learning and believing that Jesus had risen from the dead, the disciple's first task was to share the good news with others. They became witnesses of all that they had seen and heard. It is our duty too, to witness to Christ, but it's always been difficult for us to feel comfortable in doing so. We need to constantly be ready to bring the good news of Jesus to others. But what does that mean and how is it done? This six week Easter series will open us to discover the power of witness and talk about its risks and rewards.
