Video List of Some of our Sermons
Pastor Cortese has been in a series of messages entitled “Spiritual Ignorance – A Choice” centered around 1 Corinthians 12:1. This seried began on Sunday, March 12, 2023 – where Paul tells the Corinthian church in I Cor. 12:1 that the first order of business is not to be ignorant of spiritual things. Jesus stressed the same thing to Nicodemus in John 3 – the born again experience. That’s where the road to understanding spiritual things begins. “Who is Jesus to you?” There’s no more important question.
