GracePoint Church
June 11, 2023 Sermon Notes
Welcome to GracePoint Sunday Morning! Our church’s purpose is to connect real people to the real God, and we believe one of the best ways to do that is to study the Bible together. We are working through the Book of Ruth this summer as a church. In this next sermon, we are looking to the Lord for help in overcoming bitterness. May the Lord encourage your faith as you listen!
