ZChurch Message for January 13, 2024
Pastor Loretta Huggins brings a message that contains the heart of 2 Corinthians 5:14, “For the love of Christ constraineth us.”
Picture this: we are held, pressed, and beautifully constrained by the unmatched love of Christ. It’s in this divine embrace that we navigate our journey of faith, allowing His love to shape us, guide us, and minister to us in ways only He can. Don’t miss this powerful message!
