Fellowship and Noah, Part 1

This morning at Westchester Chapel Pastor Jim Warren preached on Genesis 6 and 7. Unfortunately there was a recording error. Thankfully Joyce took detailed notes and below you can hear her authorized summary of the sermon using some of her own illustrations. Pastor Linda Warren opens the service, inviting people to offer their thanks to the Lord, and that opens the recording. Rich Swingle thanks the congregation for praying for him while he presented at the Christian Worldview Film Festival and Guild. He shares reflections on an article by Richard Munn and closes with a review of God's Not Dead 2 and an invitation to an advance screening of Rather to Be Chosen in NYC.
