Sinners & Saints // Bryce Burditt
Scripture resonates with paradox, speaking in a language where opposites embrace. Death becomes the doorway to life, weakness is transfigured into strength, and the lowest seat becomes the place of honor. What seems like contradiction is, in truth, a deeper cohesion-threads of mystery woven into a single tapestry. What appears unresolved becomes a doorway, opening into the vastness of divine wisdom hidden within paradox.
In this message guest speaker and Pastor Bryce Burditt of Beacon Church examines the paradox of being a sinner and a saint.
