Knowing Christ

KNOWING CHRIST
9/29/2024
Acts 16:11-34

Sermon Theme: When a person truly comes to faith in Christ, they know Him
in a saving way and want nothing more than for others to know Him as well; to
know the joy of having their sins forgiven and to know the hope of eternal life.
In other words, knowing Christ is the motivation to make Christ known.
