06-11-17: This is the third sermon in a sermon series called "I Want to Believe, but..." We are looking at some false notions of the nature of God and how they lead people to not believe in the real God we worship. In this sermon, We discuss that people feel there is a certain way or a correct and wrong way to connect to God. Sometimes God DOES feel distant or absent. This is natural and there are ways to improve it. Thank you for listening and for more information on Indian Trail UMC please visit www.itumc.org and visit Rev.
