Listen "Love God. Love Others. Live to Serve."
Episode Synopsis
This week at Northeast Christian Church, Pastor Justin Larkin challenges us with a truth that's often overlooked: faith without service is incomplete. Through Scripture, humor, and a powerful toaster analogy, he reminds us that love for God and others only becomes real when we choose to live to serve.
