Sunday Rewind for June 26: Can I Trust the Bible?

  Have a Question? We all have questions, big God questions.  Throughout the summer at Christ United Methodist Church in Gastonia, NC, we’re asking some big questions!  Here is our Sunday Rewind for June 26, 2016.  We ask the big question, “Can I trust the Bible?” The Bible stands alone on the best seller list in human history.
