First United Methodists to begin sermon series
First United Methodist Church, 2917 Aspen Drive, will begin a new sermon series called “Half-Truths” on Jan. 9 and 10.
Pastor Jeff Huber will begin the year with a five-week series of sermons.
Half-truths or simple phrases can sound Christian, like something people might find in the Bible. They capture some element of truth, but they also miss the point in very important ways.
