What is it mean?

The Church of 1122 is a movement for all people to discover and deepen a relationship with Jesus Christ.

Welcome to our LAMP podcast.

Hey, this is Adam Flint.

I'm one of the pastors here at Church of 1122.

Work with our multiplication team. Hope you're doing great, whether you're driving or out running

or whatever you're doing today as you listen to this podcast. But if you've done any Bible study
