Pastor John will attempt to answer the urgent questions of our time: How did we lose our sense of living here on Earth? How did we become so alienated and estranged from everything else alive? How did we get convinced that we’re the only interesting game in town, and the only species worthy of extending a sense of the sacred to? How can we find our way back? 

Message           Part 3) “Kingdom of God vs Kingdom of Caesar:  Rev. John Song

How Did we Lose Our Sense of Living Here on Earth?”
