March 30th, 2008 · 1 Comment

Meditating on the Richness of Christ

March 26th, 2008 · 1 Comment

SCPC Podcast: Perfectly United Talk 8, One Temple

March 23rd, 2008 · 1 Comment

In this bible talk from 1 Corinthians 3:16-23 by Steve Cree, we both press on in our 1 Corinthians series but also reflect on the resurrection of Christ, it being Easter Sunday!
