Needed: A Safe Place to Heal, Part 1

September 8, 2023

Christ wants His church to be a place of grace, not judgment, where someone can be a part of a fellowship and say, “I’m sunk, I’m beat, I’ve had it!”

Inspired by Joshua 20:1–9, Pastor Chuck Swindoll reminds Christ-followers that the church should be a place of refuge . . . where the lives of broken people are mended and hearts are healed. Join Pastor Chuck in envisioning church as a place for people to experience the restorative power of God’s grace.

References: Joshua 20
