Did you know that women bankrolled the ministry of Jesus and his disciples? It's true!

If you had to guess how many times salvation is mentioned in the Bible-what would your guess be? Be bold! Guess. Or Google. 147. That's the answer. And in this week's sermon, we consider the comfort, challenge, and call that we find in the search for salvation.

Following Jesus can be a perplexing and frustrating thing. Some questions we have, some things we experience, and some people we know make us wonder: "Jesus, what does any of this mean?"
