Country Club Christianity - January 19, 2012 - audio sermon

In Jesus' day, the Pharisees were the considered to be the religious elite of society.  Funny how although they were "religious" men, there couldn't be more of an oil and water relationship in Scripture than the relationship between Jesus and the Pharisees.

Tonight at Worship Village, Pastor Randy preached on what he calls "Country Club Christianity"--that version of the Christian "religion" that would likely make the Pharisees smile with pride.  May this message of God's grace through Christ Jesus be a blessing to you!

A Christmas Story - December 15, 2011 - audio sermon
