This Weekend's Sermon

Pastor Shawn Cunningham

As we walk through life, I believe it's fair to say that we want to walk in a way that leads to no regrets.

Have you ever wondered if someday your life would be remembered? What would it take to live a life that would end up someday in a hall of fame? Could it be that when we walk the way that we were meant to that it's possible to please God?

This weekend we're going to look at the life of a man who lived in such a way that he became a legend. In fact, he set a standard on how to walk that God would one day live out himself. This man is Abraham - the patriarch of our faith. I look forward to continuing our summer series "Walk this Way" as we look into the life of a man who truly walked in obedience to God.

-Pastor Shawn Cunningham
