The original ending of the Gospel of Mark has the women, because of fear, not share the good news of the resurrection.

Welcome to the worship podcast for March 16th, 2025.

Join us as Pastor Kim continues our sermon series entitled "Questions to God".  As Christians, we must always remember the purpose of the Bible is to call us back to God by retelling the story of salvation that culminates in the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus Christ. We cheapen the Bible when we use it to promote our own agendas.
