Today’s sermon was from Nehemiah 9:32-33. “We all have problems in our lives. To deal with our problems, we must admit that we have a problem and seek a remedy. We should be looking for the real answer and a real solution.”
Bro. Rick gave many good examples. He told four ways to solve a problem. Bro. Rick invited everyone to remember the barbecue next Sunday in the parsonage yard. Invite friends. Table settings, hamburgers, hotdogs, watermelon and drinks will be provided. Bring a lawn chair and plan to stay a while to visit.
