Reckless Love - Songs - Part 2
There is this constant buzz of undertone that directs and defines our lives. That buzzing is driven by one question, "What is my value?" This morning, we look at the depth of your worth. Value is determined not by cost but by what someone is willing to pay. So, what's your value?

Prove It!
Today, we wrap up our the series by looking at Thomas. He makes one statement and his moniker becomes "Doubting Thomas", which carries with it all kinds of negative implications.

This week, Ken tackles this issue head on and if you have doubts, you will walk away encouraged!
