New Year, New You?

Sandhills Sermons are back! We are excited to be relaunching the Sermon arm of our audio ministry and hope you'll forgive us for how long this has taken! 
In this message Pastor Jeff breaks down some of the misconceptions we have about our understanding of new beginnings. Through diving into Galatians 5 we will see what the Lord thinks about new beginnings and how He has made us new.
We encourage you to check out our other show "The Sandhills Podcast" to dive into Christ centered conversations!
