Christ is the cornerstone of our faith and the foundation of our life as the people of God. We are looking at the teachings of Scripture that comprise the foundation of our faith and see how they center on Christ and shape our day to day living. Today we will look at “Worship.”

As a supplement to this series, there are materials available for individual and/or small group study during the week. Go to glcdenison.org to find the links to the study materials.
