It is also valued that to help others or yourself, you have to do it all on your own strength. This week at Generations, we will explore the uniqueness of Jesus Christ and the Christian faith, as well as how to share this uniqueness with other people.

We will discuss God’s original design for us to help others/ourselves, as well as how Jesus Christ made it possible for humans to fulfill that original purpose. Read More
