Come Back
Have you ever been hurt by fellow Christians? Whether it happened inside or outside of the church, it is people, with all of their frailties and failures, that caused the pain – not Jesus. If you are broken or disheartened by church hurt, don’t miss the next edition of Equipped. Guest host Collin Lambert and Dr. John Koessler will remind us that Jesus loves us, died for us, and will return to restore us and His CHURCH to perfection. Hear the encouragement Wednesday on Equipped and let the healing begin!
