Virtue Signals – Humility

Series Review Today we finish our series on Virtue Signals – those ways we demonstrate to the world around us that we live differently. If you missed any of those messages, I encourage you to watch or listen to them. You can find every one of our messages in video, audio, or readable version on the church website: firstbaptistchariton.com.

God DOES have a plan that He will work right up until the day the trumpet sounds and time runs out for this earth.

Life After Death – Hell
