SERMON "TEXT If you have a question about today's sermon, Scripture, theme or series, PB wants to help. In fact, he asks that you text your question to before the end of today's worship service so he can answer it before we leave. Based on the number of questions (and the length of the answers) he will answer up to three questions each week. If the answer requires too much time or is of a more personal nature, he will do his best to answer you at a different time.
