Pastor Terry White welcomed us, shared announcements, and then  read from Luke 3:16. "John answered them all, “I baptize you with[a] water. But one who is more powerful than I will come, the straps of whose sandals I am not worthy to untie. He will baptize you with[b] the Holy Spirit and fire."

On the road of life we are meant to be like tour guides who can explain the meaning of faith, of the Gospel and Good News.

What does it look like to be a person filled with Christ in our modern world?
