New Adult Class to begin in the Fall…The Truth Project with Room 1228...‘What is Truth’ Truth-"that which corresponds to reality." This absolute and eternal truth, at the heart of Jesus' mission on earth, continues to be the focal point of the Cosmic Battle in our own time. Truth is not simply an academic concept. The way we think about truth has a direct bearing upon the way we live our lives. When you think about God, what are you thinking about?" All of us probably understand some truths about God, but most of us haven't come close to seeing the whole picture. Come explore the many sides of God with Pastor Dan Thompson.
