The story of the flood is one that makes us all uncomfortable. God was devastated and disappointed with the total disobedience and depravity of the people on earth, and ‘it grieved Him to His heart’.

On this Valentine’s Day Pastor Bob delivers a sermon from Mark 9:2-13. The disciples accompany Jesus to the Mount of Transfiguration and have a true mountaintop experience.

(whatever is necessary) to win others for Christ who gave up everything for our salvation.
