“To worship is to quicken the conscience by the holiness of God, to feed the mind with the truth of God, to purge the imagination by the beauty of God. To open the heart to the love of God, to devote the will to the purpose of God.”

— William Temple
1881-1944

Brian Haak

Scriptures:

Acts 8:26-40

Description:

There is a lot of controversy surrounding the book and movie, but the struggle is not a new one.  Listen as we “engage the controversy” and learn how the Apostle Philip, Leonardo Da Vinci, and Dan Brown all have one thing in common, challenging the status quo.  Perhaps we should do the same?
