Out of the Ordinary, Part 2 :: Consuming Our Life Away // Adam Johnson
We are pretty good at consuming. In fact, it's become an art for some of us. Whether it’s Netflix, Amazon, Grubhub, or another source, we know how to get what we want when we want it. Yet our lives can still fall short of what we hope and dream. Jesus gave us the reason for this 2,000 years ago in a place we know as the upper room. In this message, we look at an out-of-the-ordinary lesson that leads to extraordinary results.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
