Welcome to First Baptist Lee’s Summit!

Relationships are hard work! How do we love people who are difficult to love? How do we deal with conflict in a healthy way? How do we handle the resentment we feel toward people who have harmed us? On Sunday mornings we will look at Jesus’ answers to these tough relationship questions.
