If you haven't gotten there yet, hold on--it's sure to come. However, Paul tells us that when the going gets tough, Jesus is more than enough. Believe that? We hope so. Let's reinforce that anyhow!

Latest Sermons of East MainCountercultural Christians 7-28-19When it comes to culture, we can do one of three things. We can separate ourselves from it. We can merge with it--adapt to it. Or we can offer an alternative and "counter" it. Countering isn't always standing in direct opposition. Think of a "counter-offer" on a house. How do you reconcile your faith with the culture of today?
