It Takes A Village: The Generation Code
May 31, 2015 12:58 - 35 minutes - 48.4 MBWhen we hear the phrase “…it takes a village,” we normally gravitate towards the raising of children. The premise is- different people play a role in helping raise up a child. In much the same way, each member of the church helps raise up the rest of the body and plays a role in making it function. In the life of a healthy church, especially here at Forefront, it takes everyone pitching in. We all play a part. We all matter. To fulfill the mission, “It Takes A Village.”

You Lost Me: The Wounded
March 29, 2015 14:07 - 38 minutes - 33.6 MBGod is absolutely amazing, but not everyone agrees. Some people think He is a vengeful God.
