Mark 10:46-52 - Lou spoke from Mark 10:46-52 and challenged us all to "enter in" to a deeper relationship and trust in Jesus Christ.

Truly inspiring message to not let our fears hold us back from witness, worship and wholeness in our Lord!

Ezekiel 37:0 - Powerful move of Holy Spirit from the start. Lou shared from Ezekiel 37 (The valley of dry bones) and linked it in a very vulnerable, open way with her testimony and how the Lord will breathe new life into us if we trust him to.
