Let Our Lives Speak, Too, July 15th, 2018, Sermon on Titus 1:5-9 (Given by Pastor Daniel S. Bondow)
----------------------------------------------
The 8th Sunday after Pentecost
How can we witness?
When Jesus calls us to "go and make disciples of all nations,"
he doesn't leaves us without procedures, policies, and promises.
When he asks us to be his witnesses he supplies what we need to
carry out our task.

Next Week's Worship
(How does God guide us?)
Jesus promised, "I will be with you always," but we wonder sometimes
where he is when we need him most. Jesus helps us understand how he shepherds us and leads us to green pastures and quiet waters as we walk through life.
