Purity or Pollution?

Pastor Randy Solomon preaches on Matthew 5:8, "Blessed are the pure in heart, for they shall see God."

Opening prayer and closing testimony by today's guest worship leader, Piero Gorriti. Communion and prayer by Pastor Joyce Swingle.



In his testimony Piero mentioned the story of the prodigal son. While we (the Swingles) attended the San Antonio Independent Christian Film Festival we saw a great short film on that passage. Parents should watch it before deciding whether or not to show their children, since it depicts the life of the prodigal. It would probably merit a PG rating.
