If we’re really honest, most of us would admit we want

to fit in. Ever since we were kids, we wanted to like the

right music, wear the right clothes, and use the right

technology. But as disciples of Jesus, we were made to be

different; made to live in such a way that it’s clear we aren’t

bandwagon crowd-followers; we’re followers of Christ.

If we’re really honest, most of us would admit we want

to fit in. Ever since we were kids, we wanted to like the

right music, wear the right clothes, and use the right

technology. But as disciples of Jesus, we were made to be

different; made to live in such a way that it’s clear we aren’t

bandwagon crowd-followers; we’re followers of Christ.

FaithBuilders S U N DAY S , 9 :00 A M I N T H E C H A P E L

From Separation of Church and State, to the Civil Rights

Movement, this series will inspire every American to

nation’s history in the American Heritage Series: this is

your heritage!
