Next Sunday: A Whole New Wardrobe

Following Christ means more than just believing – it means changing clothes. We are called to strip off the old habits of sin and self and put on the new wardrobe God provides: compassion, kindness, humility, and above all, love. In Christ, we don’t just look different – we live different, bringing His light to the world. Colossians 3:1-17; Galatians 6:7-8
