Welcome to First Baptist Lee’s Summit!

You probably have a bunch of different voices in your life trying to tell you who you are or who you are supposed to be. Today we will listen for Jesus to tell us who we are in him. We will be exploring the good news that "anyone who is in Christ is a new creation" (2 Corinthians 5:17). Expect to be challenged and encouraged!
