Agape Love in Practice
Christians are commanded to love one another. But our present-day divisions and disunity show us that it’s not an easy task to do. Dr. Winfred Neely helps us see how a mutual agape love within the church can spread to our families and communities. Explore the biblical basis for love when you join us for Equipped with Chris Brooks.
