Teachings of Jesus is topic of sermon
Jesus Christ said, “I came so that everyone would have life, and have it in its fullest.” (John 10:10, Contemporary English Version of the Bible).
You can apply Jesus’ teachings to your life today to free yourself from want and to experience the life that Jesus discussed. This is the subject of the sermon on Sunday, Aug. 31, at the Christian Science Church at 2411 E. Highway 525 (across from Useless Bay Road) on South Whidbey.
The service begins at 10:30 a.m.
‘The God Who Saves’ on Sunday
Sunday morning’s speaker at South Whidbey Community Church is Dr. Dana Wright, whose sermon topic is, “The God Who Saves is the God Who Creates,” based on Genesis 1:26-2:4.
