Where is There Hope? Feb 11, 2017 Where is there hope? Today’s readings are unusual because they have similar themes. The difference in living today and looking forward, versus looking backward.

Are We All Sinners From Birth?
Are We All Sinners From Birth – Feb, 7, 2017 – Are we all sinners from birth? Are we taught to lie, or do we inherently know how to? Was it sinful of Adam & Eve to eat the fruit, or was the fruit itself sin? Are we bigger, faster, stronger than others, or are we just competitive? I think the answers here are all yes! Why?
