A Call for Christian Discernment (Matthew 7:15-23)
Since the 2016 Presidential Election, we have heard a lot about “Fake News” with both sides of the political aisle accusing one another of being behind it.

A Tangled Web (Genesis 26:34-28:5)
Over the past two weeks we have learned the important truth that God’s blessings are not tied to our performance, but on the finished work of Christ.
