When we are dealing with things in our lives that keep us from being all that we can be for Christ, we can rejoice in the hope that Christ has the power to make the changes in our lives that need to be made.

Pastor John has said many times that people come through the doors of our church with smiles on their faces, but inside their hearts are breaking. Our churches are filled with broken people.
