  • Getting to Know God
    The single most important element in every Christian's life is to know God. The bible reveals that "God" is actually three Persons dwelling in inseparable unity. There is the Father who said, "Let us make man in our image, according to our likeness..." (Genesis 1:26-28). There is the Son, Jesus Christ who created everything according to the Father's will, (Colossians 1:15-17) and there is the Holy Spirit who assists in bringing into being everything that is the will of the Father and the Son. Listen as Pastor John discusses the topic of "Getting to Know God."
