This is a resource that can outlast a sermon series and will be tool people can use now and in the future.   Grace Stories: You can find more conversations like this anywhere you listen to podcasts or by clicking here: https://anchor.fm/gccbartlesville.   Buy our new book Enthroned!: https://gcc.ccbchurch.com/goto/forms/76/responses/new  gccbartlesville.org/enthroned   Website: Find more things online at gccbartlesville.org   Subscribe: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCQK5goBtUtCyWGcTiFUIDoQ/?sub_confirmation=1   Social Media: Facebook - facebook.com/gccbartlesville Instagram - instagram.com/gccbartlesville
