GraceLife SarasotaGrace & The Law (Romans) No.18- Level GroundIsn’t a church supposed to be where humble people come together in gratitude, to worship God, and love one another? Isn’t a place like GraceLife the last place that should be in conflict, where we look down on others in our church family?
