Church in Your Home
As our campus is closed, we still worship! Craig shares a way to pray and send praise along with discussion and thought in the Gospel of Mark 10: 46-52 which tells of the healing of the blind man, Bartimaeus.

Captured and Captivated
We are not placed at the front of the parade with those who fought and won. We are captive. We are captive to the cross and we are to be captivated by Jesus.
