This strategy has now become the norm across sports, and for the Sixers’ sake, it did yield them Joel Embiid, the team’s first MVP winner in 22 years. But it’s also been filled with crisis after crisis. Two number one picks that flopped and big time trades, first for Jimmy Butler and then James Harden, that ultimately went nowhere. This year, the offseason acquisition of Paul Georg...2024-12-0429 minTractors And TroubadoursTractors And TroubadoursEp. 141: The Farm Bill encompasses more than production agriculture, edge-of-field conservation, a new way to buy and sell beef, the music of J.D.

(Part 1) (Jim Shelburne) The oldest temptation of all really had nothing to do with an apple. It had everything to do with an idol - the one I see in the mirror every morning. When Satan tempted Eve it was with a subtle idea: “you don’t really need God, you can be your own god.” Once Satan convinced her that life should be “all about her” – his job was done.We’ve all bitten that apple, all of us have chosen self as our favorite god. During our new series we’ll be searching for an antidote to that insidious deception.

His name is known not because of how well he answered God’s call, but precisely because of the opposite. Jonah is indeed a cautionary tale for us in the dangers of prejudice and disobedience. But it is undeniably true that God still works with stubborn sailors, and it is not out of the question for Him to even throw us overboard to help us get where we need to be. And if we’ll look closely, a man’s radical...2022-09-0440 minMementoMementoEpisode 28: Sabbath, Community, And The Letter To The Ephesians | We Are (Shane Wyly) (Jim Shelburne)0:00 intro 0:41 keeping the Sabbath holy 3:59 spiritual warfare 8:00 how do you find and experience community? 15:45 what was most impactful about Ephesians? 21:01 outro Do you have prayer requests?

Today we look over Paul’s shoulder as he closes out this inspired little masterpiece with some well-pointed thoughts about finishing well.

But in a very practical and memorable passage for today, Paul takes the time to clearly enumerate six or seven pieces of “personal military hardware” with which God has already equipped serious soldiers of Christ. In this message we will work through his list, consider the equipment and the purpose it serves while hopefully taking inventory of our own personal state of preparedness. This battle is not “Armageddon-sized.” But it is of great...2022-07-0341 minWashington Avenue Christian ChurchWashington Avenue Christian ChurchThe Holy Spirit in Relationships (Ephesians 5:21-33, 6:1-9) | Bob Mink, Jim Shelburne, Lennie McCay Today in our practicum session we will take a summary look at the material we've been learning the last several weeks from our study of Ephesians.

But this was not God’s design. Work is intended to be a blessing, a means by which God allows us to provide for ourselves and our families and even His work. We often spend more hours and years working than in any other single pursuit. In today’s message, Paul will remind us of the biblical relationship between employees and bosses, and, most importantly, he will challenge us to w...2022-06-1241 minWashington Avenue Christian ChurchWashington Avenue Christian ChurchRemembering and Forgetting and Why They Matter | Jim Shelburne On this weekend that we are celebrating a holiday about remembering, today we will spend some time considering both remembering and forgetting and why they matter, and what the Bible has to say about both.Find more messages from WACC here: https://wacconline.org/mediaDo you have prayer requests?

If you thought he was expecting a lot from the wives, well, just wait to see how high he sets the bar for men! We need to remember that humanly speaking this dance is pretty impossible, for both men and women. It is only possible by the enabling power of the Holy Spirit, which is fully at our disposal. Why would we ever try to dance this dance...2022-05-1542 minWashington Avenue Christian ChurchWashington Avenue Christian ChurchChildren of the Light | We Are Light (Part 5) (Jim Shelburne) Light is an interesting thing. On a dark night or in a shadowy alleyway, we can’t have enough of it. But when the alarm goes off and we are fighting the bed sheets, the last thing we want is for someone to turn on the bright light overhead. The symbolism of light and darkness is everywhere, the warfare well-documented. As believers, we are called to be soldiers of the light. In our message today, Paul finishes his thoughts about light, reminding us that even though we “once were darkness” now “we are light in the Lord”—indeed—"children of the Light.”...2022-04-2441 minWashington Avenue Christian ChurchWashington Avenue Christian ChurchWhen Nothing is Everything | (Easter Sunday) (Jim Shelburne) On the first Easter Sunday a group of women went to the tomb of Jesus to finish the job preparing His body for burial. What they found in there and also what the disciples found there—is the fulcrum of the entire Christian faith. What did they find? They found nothing. That’s because He was not there. That’s because He had risen, just as He said He would. Today in our message, on this Easter Sunday, our thoughts turn to a situation where the reality of nothing is everything.Find more messages from WACC h...2022-04-1732 minWashington Avenue Christian ChurchWashington Avenue Christian ChurchWhat Does the Lord Need From You? | Palm Sunday (Jim Shelburne) Our focus today is on that Sunday when Jesus entered Jerusalem as the triumphant Messiah. What a contrast from the events that would take place the following Friday! But that Sunday, He would ride into Jerusalem like a king, and for the ride He would need something He didn’t have—a donkey. In a similar way, there are things we have been given, things we “own”—that could be used in the service of our King Jesus. The big question is: When He asks us for what He needs from us—will we say “Yes!” It’s a big question. And...2022-04-1044 minWashington Avenue Christian ChurchWashington Avenue Christian ChurchImitating Our Father | We Are Light (Part 3) (Jim Shelburne) As Paul turns the page into chapter 5 of Ephesians, he challenges us with the very tall order of “Being imitators of God." What does this look like? And how is this even possible?Holiness in scripture describes “God’s pure and powerful presence.” This means that the Church is also supposed to be pure, and having a powerful influence on the broken, corrupt society around us. We do this, Paul says, by watching our own behaviors morally and vocally. The world is always watching. We should live and even talk differently, as followers of Christ.Find mor...2022-03-2741 minWashington Avenue Christian ChurchWashington Avenue Christian ChurchGetting Out of Our Prisons | We Are Light (Part 2) (Jim Shelburne) Through our identity in Christ and the power of the Holy Spirit, we have been enabled to live lives with qualities that distinguish us from the pagan world. As we “take off“ our natural habits and “put on“ better ones that reflect Christ, the world takes notice and is impacted by our influence. The contrast will bring light into the darkness.Sadly, even those who are in Christ still wear the chains and inhabit the prisons that go with our fallen natures when we lie or steal or rage or spew—even when we refuse to forgive or act unk...2022-03-2048 minWashington Avenue Christian ChurchWashington Avenue Christian ChurchIn the Laboratory of Unity | We Are One (Part 4) (Jim Shelburne) (Jake Earls) (Shane Wyly) Today we’ll spend a little time looking backward over the first section of Ephesians chapter 4, the part we have tagged “We Are One”.Today, not one, but three teachers will focus our attention toward practical insights that hopefully will help us see what it means and what it looks like to be ONE.Do you have prayer requests?

After Jesus conquered sin and death, this victorious king returned to heaven. But the conquering king did not leave us empty-handed. He gave us “the spoils of His victory”—the gifts of the Holy Spirit. Out of our oneness, diversity occurs when each of us embrace our gift and do our part for the community of Christ.Do you have prayer requests? Get in touch dir...2022-02-2047 minWashington Avenue Christian ChurchWashington Avenue Christian ChurchWalking Worthily | We Are One (Part 1) (Jim Shelburne) When we come to chapter 4 in our study of Ephesians, Paul has finished describing the mountainous landscape of God’s grace, mercy, and goodness to us. He then turns his attention to helping us see the “so what” part of this letter.The opening verses of chapter 4 give us direction in four simple but extraordinarily important virtues that will keep us traveling on the road together, in the same direction. If there is anything our world, our families, our churches need today—it is understanding how and finding the willingness to walk together in unity. Ever-eager to help us catch...2022-02-1343 minWashington Avenue Christian ChurchWashington Avenue Christian ChurchGod's Love In Action | Family Service Center Focus (Jim Shelburne) (Darnel Wassinger) One of the hallmarks of Christians is supposed to be found in the way that we treat others, both those who are a part of our family as well as those who are complete strangers. Today, we take a closer look at one of the primary ministries of WACC, as we also consider what Jesus had to say about showing compassion on the Sabbath, and what God had to say about true devotion.Do you have prayer requests?

And we are highly influenced by it, so we spend a whole lot of our effort trying harder in the hopes of changing the way things are or changing ourselves. The problem is that trying harder rarely works.What would happen if instead of carrying that whole load on our own shoulders, we trusted God and surrendered to the work of His grace in our lives? Isn’t it about time we learned to believe more in Him than in ourselves? 2022-01-2341 minWashington Avenue Christian ChurchWashington Avenue Christian ChurchDoing Something Different for a Change (Jim Shelburne) Because so much of life consists of doing a lot of the same things day after day, it is fairly easy to find that we have fallen into a deep rut; sometimes it is so deep we can’t even see over the edges of this early grave. If anything can be said about God, scripture would tell us that God loves new things. He especially loves leading us into greener pastures as His “new creations.” Maybe a brand new year is a wonderful time to consider doing something different for a change. 2022-01-1644 minWashington Avenue Christian ChurchWashington Avenue Christian ChurchOf Holocausts And Hallelujahs | A Little Wonder (Part 7) (Jim Shelburne) Christmas may “numb our pain” as we focus more (as we should) on the peace Christ brought and brings into our lives and world. But we are living in denial if we fail to acknowledge that evil is and will continue to be a powerful force until Satan is once and finally brought down. Our text shows us today that evil and evil ones like Herod may have their day, but they will not win the day. God is completely and fully in control, and one day, everything that is so broken and haywire down here will be set righ...2022-01-0938 minWashington Avenue Christian ChurchWashington Avenue Christian ChurchLaughter From Heaven | A Little Wonder (Part 5) (Jim Shelburne) If you ever wondered if God has a sense of humor, just look in the mirror :-)All through the pages of scripture, if only you will look, you can't help but see God smiling, maybe even bending over in a belly laugh, as he works to accomplish His purpose in the strangest--and sometimes the most comical--of ways.We see this nowhere better than when we are wondering why we would find God lying in a feed trough... 2021-12-2626 minWashington Avenue Christian ChurchWashington Avenue Christian ChurchLittle Baby, Big News | A Little Wonder (Part 4) (Jim Shelburne) We can't know how much angels know but we can see that one of their best days ever was the day when they got to announce the arrival of the newborn king. Heaven exploded with joy and praise as God wrapped himself in human skin, a present of his presence for all mankind. 2021-12-1923 minWashington Avenue Christian ChurchWashington Avenue Christian ChurchLittle Shepherds, Little Sheep | A Little Wonder (Part 3) (Jim Shelburne) In this week's Advent focus, God's penchant for using unsung people from out-of-the-way places continues as He chooses outcast shepherds to be invited to the birthday celebration of the ages. 2021-12-1229 minWashington Avenue Christian ChurchWashington Avenue Christian ChurchLittle People Little Places | A Little Wonder (Part 2) (Jim Shelburne) We live in a culture where bigger is always better and just about everything is measured in terms of size and perceived impact. That may be true in our culture, but it’s not how God works.In our Advent journey today, we are reminded once again that God takes great delight in working mightily through little people and little places… 2021-12-0530 minWashington Avenue Christian ChurchWashington Avenue Christian ChurchLittle Words | A Little Wonder (Part 1) (Jim Shelburne) The Apostle John tells the Christmas story a little differently: “… The Word became flesh and lived among us for a while.” As Advent season begins, watch with us in wonder as we consider the impact of this one little Word, whose coming into our world 2000 years ago changed everything. 2021-11-2833 minWashington Avenue Christian ChurchWashington Avenue Christian ChurchBlessed Abundantly | Thanksgiving (Jim Shelburne) Never in history have a people been so abundantly blessed as we have; and it has never been so easy to take it for granted or even fail to see it entirely. As we move into a season called “Thanksgiving“ let us open our eyes and open our hearts and give thanks to God in and for all things. Even if life is really tough right now, there are lots of reasons to be thankful—if only we will look for them. 2021-11-2129 minWashington Avenue Christian ChurchWashington Avenue Christian ChurchMore, Bigger and Better | We Are Reunited (Part 4) (Jim Shelburne) We often get confused about power. We think we know it and see it in technology and governments and political personalities. But the real power comes from a different source; it comes from the source of everything. GOD. In this amazing prayer covered by our text today, Paul is making sure that believers know and receive the enabling and empowering strength of God, and that we at least catch a glimpse of just how big God is. As a believer in Christ, that power is at our disposal. So why do we live like beggars? 2021-11-1441 minWashington Avenue Christian ChurchWashington Avenue Christian ChurchA Mysterious Detour | We Are Reunited (Part 3) (Jim Shelburne) As we move into chapter 3, Paul begins to pray but then segues into a detour in which he explains the mystery of God‘s plan to reunite the Jews and Gentiles, as well as the mystery of grace that allows him to be a part of it. 2021-11-0742 minWashington Avenue Christian ChurchWashington Avenue Christian ChurchWelcome To The Family | We Are Reunited (Part 2) (Jim Shelburne) In our last look at Ephesians 2, we talked about how God, through Jesus Christ, took warring factions and brought them together through his peace. As we look further today, we will find out that not only have we outsiders been invited in, we are now fully a part of God’s family 2021-10-2438 minWashington Avenue Christian ChurchWashington Avenue Christian ChurchGod's Best Work | We Are Redeemed (Part 7) (Jim Shelburne) “For we are God’s workmanship…” it says in Ephesians 2:10. Most of the time when we read that verse we focus on ourselves, feeling thankful, or even proud that God‘s fingerprints are all over our lives. And we should! But today, let’s turn our focus away from the creation—you and me—to the Creator. Because after all, that’s where the focus really belongs! 2021-10-1033 minWashington Avenue Christian ChurchWashington Avenue Christian ChurchYou Were Dead, But God... | We Are Redeemed (Part 6) (Jim Shelburne) Sometimes looking back, it is probably a good thing we didn’t know how bad things really were in a particularly dicey situation. But in our Ephesians text today, Paul wants to make doubly sure we know exactly how bad our situation was before Christ came with a means to save and redeem us. Today we take a first look at the PROBLEM, the SOLUTION, and the RESULT. Beyond the death, burial and resurrection of Christ, this becomes the most amazing part of the Gospel and what it means for those in Christ. 2021-10-0328 minWashington Avenue Christian ChurchWashington Avenue Christian ChurchThe Proof Is In The Power | We Are Redeemed (Part 5) (Jim Shelburne) The most powerful engine is useless without fuel. The best table saw in the shop is no good when it is unplugged. The brightest searchlight remains dark until you flip the switch. In a similar way, a Christian life disconnected from the power of God will have no impact, no change. In our text today, Paul reminds us of the incredible power that is ours through Jesus Christ. 2021-09-2638 minWashington Avenue Christian ChurchWashington Avenue Christian Church10 Reasons To Praise God | We Are Redeemed (Part 3) (Jim Shelburne) Sometimes it can be easy to get overwhelmed by the sheer size of a mountain, especially if you think you have to climb it! The first chapter of the book of Ephesians is kind of a “Mount Everest” in scope and bearing. Sometimes, all you can do is stand back and take it in and just be amazed! In our study time today, we’ll take a quick look at ten huge blessings that already belong to every believer in Christ. We won’t understand them all perfectly, and some of them only barely. But what we can do is prais...2021-09-1234 minWashington Avenue Christian ChurchWashington Avenue Christian ChurchThe Labor Of Your Hands | Labor Day Special (Jim Shelburne) Sadly, most people, Believers included, approach work and career as if it is a curse, or at best a necessary evil. But that's not the way God sees our work! On this Labor Day weekend, we'll spend our time considering two main reasons Americans have put so much effort into work, and we'll end with some considerations geared at helping us make sure our work ethic is grounded in biblical and spiritual wisdom. 2021-09-0539 minWashington Avenue Christian ChurchWashington Avenue Christian ChurchTall Grass At The Loading Dock | We Are Redeemed (Part 2) (Jim Shelburne) As we take our first steps into the text of Ephesians we quickly find out that God has been busy making plans for a very long time, and that those plans include us! Today we'll take a first peek into the truckload of blessings we've already been given, and we'll spend some time being wowed by the mind-boggling paradoxes of God's sovereignty and man's responsibility. 2021-08-2936 minWashington Avenue Christian ChurchWashington Avenue Christian ChurchWe Are... | We Are Redeemed (Part 1) (Jim Shelburne) It's called amnesia - the loss of the memory of one's identity. It's a serious diagnosis with serious consequences. In the Apostle Paul's day, Paul was concerned that the Christians at Ephesus had forgotten who they were and what they had in Christ. Maybe that's true of the Church today. We kickoff a new Series today - "WE ARE..." - as we take our first look at this New Testament letter, God's word for them - and for us. 2021-08-2235 minWashington Avenue Christian ChurchWashington Avenue Christian ChurchGod Is Enough (Jim Shelburne) In our text today the people of Israel have just left Egypt, but their freedom quickly finds them up against impossibilities and certain destruction. In this very place they will learn that although people are only people, God is God – and He wants to fight or us. 2021-08-1532 minWashington Avenue Christian ChurchWashington Avenue Christian ChurchMeant For Good | Meant For Good (Part 13) (Jim Shelburne) As we come to the end of our series, we’ll take a last look at the two main points of our study: one, that forgiveness is a complicated and costly business, And, two, that there is nothing more powerful than the sovereign Grace and Providence of God. Then we’ll finish up with a touching, powerful, real-life ‘meant for good’ story. 2021-08-0845 minWashington Avenue Christian ChurchWashington Avenue Christian ChurchTwo Funerals and Fourteen Blessings | Meant For Good (Part 12) (Jim Shelburne) The finish to our lives will say an awful lot about the years we’ve lived. In our message today, our focus is largely on two funerals—one for Jacob, the “father of the twelve tribes of Israel” and one for Joseph, the favorite son of that same father. As we look upon last scenes and last words, we will find out that our unconfessed sins will follow us and even dog our kids and grandkids and beyond--and that our “owned and confessed” sins will pave the path for forgiveness and a lighter, blessed future. We will also witness in our hero...2021-08-0137 minWashington Avenue Christian ChurchWashington Avenue Christian ChurchA Trap, A Test, & A Tale Unfolded | Meant For Good (Part 9) (Jim Shelburne) In today’s journey with Joseph, we come to a suspenseful climax. The brothers can no longer hide or run from the truth, and Joseph can no longer bear to forestall his reunion with them. They get a sweet taste of grace, a lesson in sovereignty. Joseph gets to hug his brothers 20 years after their crimes against him. And we get to catch a glimpse of the greater story God is writing all around us. All in all, it is a very sweet story; and every chapter is meant for good. 2021-06-2735 minWashington Avenue Christian ChurchWashington Avenue Christian ChurchWhen Grace Trumps Fear | Meant For Good (Part 8) (Jim Shelburne) Amazing Grace how sweet the sound, that saved a wretch like me… You probably know the song, and you may well know the beauty of grace if you have been its beneficiary. In our story today from Genesis 34, the eleven sheepish brothers of Joseph return to Egypt, expecting to be in deep trouble because it appears they didn’t pay for their grain on the last trip. But what they get is love, acceptance, lavish treatment and a feast—all from this man they still do not know is the brother they mistreated so badly so long ago. Such is the...2021-06-2046 minWashington Avenue Christian ChurchWashington Avenue Christian ChurchBack On The Mainline | Meant For Good (Part 4) (Jim Shelburne) During a season of life on the sideline, it is easy to feel forgotten and insignificant and unloved, but God promises in scripture that he will "confirm, strengthen, and establish you." (1 Peter 5:10) This week, Joseph's prayers are answered (after 2 years!) in a way he could never have imagined. 2021-05-2330 minWashington Avenue Christian ChurchWashington Avenue Christian ChurchOn The Side Rail Of Suffering | Meant For Good (Part 3) (Jim Shelburne) Joseph's ever-changing circumstances find him in prison, now seemingly forgotten and forsaken. All of us will do time there, wondering if God knows, sees, cares where we are. So what do you do in the pause between the prayer and the answer? 2021-05-1639 minWashington Avenue Christian ChurchWashington Avenue Christian ChurchTemptation Station | Meant For Good (Part 2) (Jim Shelburne) Temptation comes in many different forms, and as humans, every single one of us are subject to temptation. Today we will learn from Joseph how to remain strong in the face of great temptation; we will also learn that sometimes the price of integrity is quite high! 2021-05-0936 minWashington Avenue Christian ChurchWashington Avenue Christian ChurchDysfunction Junction | Meant For Good (Part 1) (Jim Shelburne) Today we begin our journey into the story of Joseph, one of the most dynamic characters in the early Old Testament. As we consider his family of origins-namely his father Jacob, and the extreme dysfunction of his family unit-perhaps it reminds us that all families are broken; Their story could make your family seem down right normal! The thing to remember is that even in the midst of the chaos, God is writing a story that through His grace will reflect His perfect purpose. One day, hopefully, we will be able to see that it was all meant...2021-05-0232 minWashington Avenue Christian ChurchWashington Avenue Christian ChurchBetting The Farm On God (Jim Shelburne) There are a lot of high-stress, high-stakes times in life; in many of them, we will have to choose whether we are going to trust in ourselves to solve the problems and meet the needs--or trust in God. King Asa of the Old Testament knew about this kind of decision. Early in his reign he trusted God and God showed up. Every time! But late in his reign an enemy king began to threaten the people of Judah and the question arose again: “Will Asa trust himself, or will he bet the farm on God?” You’ll have to listen...2021-04-2532 minWashington Avenue Christian ChurchWashington Avenue Christian ChurchThe Little Dark Room (Jim Shelburne) 2021-04-1132 minWashington Avenue Christian ChurchWashington Avenue Christian ChurchWhen There’s More to the Story | Resurrection Sunday (Jim Shelburne) Everybody has a story, and most of us think we know or can control the ending, or at least have very definite ideas about “how things are supposed to turn out.” In our Easter Sunday message, we meet two Christ-followers who are traveling the road to Emmaus that first Easter Sunday evening. They are bewildered and dejected by the intense plot twist that has taken their hopeful Messiah and had him nailed to a cross. On the road they meet a “stranger” who comes alongside them and gently challenges the story they expected. He helps them see their own story an...2021-04-0435 minWashington Avenue Christian ChurchWashington Avenue Christian ChurchSeven Last Words | Palm Sunday (Jim Shelburne) Much has been made of the seven last “words” or sayings of Jesus Christ from the cross, both in music, art and literature. Last words are important, and they capture our imagination and attention with their weight. In this message Jim will be travelling to all four gospels and their resurrection accounts, trying to hear and see the meaning behind our Savior’s last words on the cross. They are words of grace, words of need and anguish, words of love, words of victory. Listen carefully! 2021-03-2835 minWashington Avenue Christian ChurchWashington Avenue Christian ChurchA New You | New YOU Revolution (Part 4) (Jim Shelburne) God is always at work in the lives of those who have submitted to His rule and reign. In this conclusion to our “New YOU Revolution” series, instead of looking at other people changed by the power of God, we will spend our time looking deeply inside our own hearts. The work God wants to do in us is far more important than anything we might ever do for Him! But we stand in the way. Sometimes there are questions we need to ask that will set our hearts on the course to change. In this message, Jim will be w...2021-03-2143 minWashington Avenue Christian ChurchWashington Avenue Christian ChurchOpen To Healing | New YOU Revolution (Part 2) (Jim Shelburne) God wants to change us for the better. He wants to heal us spiritually, so we can live the abundant lives Jesus promised. Too often, we resist healing and remain unchanged, untouched, untold as what could have been be a story of God’s work. Naaman of the Old Testament (2 Kings 5) was faced with a choice between being healed God’s way or staying sick like he was. He chose wisely. How about you? What choices are you facing? 2021-03-0737 minWashington Avenue Christian ChurchWashington Avenue Christian ChurchThree Visions | New Year's Revolution (Part 6) (Jim Shelburne) Isaiah was minding his own business, enjoying life and security and abundance, probably an externally devout man who would have scored high in “religiosity.”  Then one day something happens that is amazing… he goes to church and SEES GOD!  And his life is never the same; a revolutionary calling changes everything! God works when he changes ANY life. The response required from us for any significant change/transformation to occur is a willingness to see God as He is, and a willingness to see ourselves and others as they are, then a willingness to submit to his transform...2021-02-2137 minWashington Avenue Christian ChurchWashington Avenue Christian ChurchManna, Meat and Onions | New Year's Revolution (Part 5) (Jim Shelburne) Jesus Meets a woman at a well who is a deep well of needs. But we all are – our cravings tend to drive us and if we're not careful, destroy us. The revolution of a better way starts with knowing our thirsts and drinking from the only well with living water – Jesus Christ 2021-02-1437 minWashington Avenue Christian ChurchWashington Avenue Christian ChurchLooking For Something More | New Year's Revolution (Part 4) (Jim Shelburne) Almost every human knows the feeling of wanting more. Satan takes advantage of our hungers and thirsts by offering counterfeits (which we often settle for). Jesus' revolutionary offer is the only way to find REAL life. 2021-02-0740 minWashington Avenue Christian ChurchWashington Avenue Christian ChurchRevolutionary Compassion | New Year's Revolution (Part 3) (Jim Shelburne & Darnel Wassinger) The Washington Street Family Service Center gives hand ups, not hand outs.
