Why the World Rejects God’s Word
I have so many things from week to week that I want to say to you. I won’t say all of them this morning, but close. Obviously we are here in obedience to our Lord.

Grace Church is defined by its commitment to Holy Scripture. For true Christians the Bible is our greatest treasure. It is more precious to us than gold, than much fine gold.
