Cleanse Me | Jan 15 – 21, 2017

Series Big Idea

God’s dream for you is to be a fully engaged Christ-follower, to be on adventure with Jesus that is daring, life-changing, full of purpose. If you’re ready for something more, start praying dangerous prayers.

Message Big Idea

Lord, cleanse me of my sin so I can grow closer to you.

Scripture

Psalm 51, Luke 18:10-14
