Sermon by Pastor Brent Snook / July 2, 2023

Bible text: Judges 1


“Failure to rally around a set of values means that we are turning out highly skilled barbarians.  Society as a whole is turning out barbarians because of the discarding of the value system it was built on.  To restore its lost value system, America would have to return to its faith in God.”
