Searching for Significance (Pastor Donnie Edwards)
I don't know of a single person that does not want their life to matter or count for something even if they are lost or saved. Many are looking for significance without even knowing that they are trying to fill the void by which every man is born, that only God and His will can satisfy. In this series Pastor Donnie will lay out what is significant to God, instead of us trying to figure out what is significant to Man. Let's take a journey to see what matters most to God and then step out in faith and make it significant to us.
Join us each Sunday morning at 9:00 am or you can catch us on radio station at 7:00pm / TV each Sunday night at 8:00pm and Wednesday night at 7:00pm.
