Comm-unity: What Builds Community? - Mark Kang 10/22/23

This week in the Detroit Church of Christ, Mark Kang continues the series called 'Comm-unity'. Mark reminds us that in order to build community we cannot simply focus on our self-needs. How when we focus on Jesus, on pleasing God, and how we can meet other's needs, then God's Word will fill us and direct us with purpose and vision, and guide our sense of community.

This week in the Detroit Church of Christ, Mark Kang continues the series called 'Blueprints'. We learn in order for us to understand God's plan of salvation, we must believe the Bible is God's word, the standard.
