Sunday Worship: “Reality is Gorgeous”

Sancturary and Livestream on our Website 72425 Via Vail, Rancho Mirage, CA

Worship Leader: Peter Mathews
Worship Associate: Joni Padduck
The connotation of the very word “reality" can turn us away. But, in all religions and prophetic thought, reality is a window into an emotional state of inner peace. Christians call it heaven. Buddhists call it nirvana. Reality is truth, and the truth does indeed set us free. And this freedom is available even in the most horrific of times.
