SUCCESSION PLANNING

Pastor Lawrence continued our study this past Sunday, which Pastor Harry began last week, by utilizing Paul’s words to Timothy in 2 Timothy 1 and moving into the second chapter of the letter as well.  What struck me most from the sermon was Paul encouraging Timothy to follow the pattern...

INVESTING IN ONE ANOTHER

This past Sunday, Pastor Harry’s sermon was taken from 2 Timothy, chapter 1, one of his two letters to Timothy, likely 15 years his junior.  The sermon was very fitting for a kickoff of a new series on investing in each other and also for encouraging Mosaic graduates as they...
