Thank you, Pastor Moore, for a marvelous sermon from Mark 7: 14-23.
Thank God for giving us the “heart transplant” that informs us that our righteousness, before God, is the righteousness of Jesus Christ.
We appreciate your giving us “the truth”.
Thank you, thank you – Great sermon, great lesson, great format. Only two things missing – first all of ALL OF US – looking forward to that and Nancy singing or maybe a piano and organ piece. Thank God for His Word, you and our church.
Thank you for sharing the truth in God’s word. And thank you for the video – I loved how it captured the hymnal being raised (Nancy?). I am looking forward to the day when we can all raise our voices together in worship.
