In this series, Pastor Rick seeks to help us understand what Jesus said when He was on earth and how that relates to life in the 21st century.
You, God, And Money

In "Dissecting The Da Vinci Code" Pastor Rick will seek to dissect and expose the inaccuracies of Brown's claims and assert the historic claims of Christianity.
