What is "Hot Dogmas of Faith"?
The "Hot Dogmas of Faith" is a summer sermon series that our former Interim Pastor, Rev. Ruthanne Herrington, started in June 2024 as a way to answer tough questions of faith and religion from the congregation and beyond. This has become somewhat of a summer tradition that Pastor David has continued. If you have a tough question about faith, religion, or Scripture, you can ask it in the form below, any time of the year. All questions are anonymous unless you include your name. A list of answered questions with links to their videos is also below.
We stream our Sunday services weekly at 10am Eastern at facebook.com/JacksonFirstPres/live.
Sermons are uploaded to this page and to our YouTube page weekly.
