This Week at Crossroads I 6.15.2023

WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW The fruit of our lives is expressed in words and actions. Everyone will produce some kind of fruit, whether it is good or bad. Abiding in Christ offers us all we need to have a harvest of good from our lives. However, living disconnected from Jesus will result in fruit that looks like the world. Join us this Father's Day as we talk about being identified by the fruit of our lives.
