For as high as the heavens are above the earth, so great is His love for those who fear Him; as far as the east is from the west, so far has He removed our transgressions from us."

ABOUT OUR MESSAGES Our next message in our morning series through Acts, "King on a Mission," focuses on the completion of the group that will be foundation of God's Kingdom, the Apostles. Judas Iscariot tried to buy his own kingdom; however God's kingdom marches on even through all who oppose him. This evening: it can be a cool feeling to get a passport for a first time.
