This weekend our Pastor Emeritus, Dr.Claude Thomas, shared a word with us out of Matthew chapter 9. We learn to have clarity, compassion, and commitment like Jesus. While striving to be more like Jesus in how we see and treat others, we will begin to encourage others to embrace His best for their lives!
