Comparing Gods

As a Christian, I believe God makes sense. I start with beauty and goodness. What I find most interesting and lovely, what I find most good and pleasing, is the story in which God is the center. Could it also possibly be true? Join me as I share why our deepest longings connect us with the heart of the story of God.

The sermon today is titled "Comparing Gods." This sermon is the second installment in our series "Why God Makes Sense."
