Current Sermon Series

Join us for our current sermon series as we follow the Rhythms of God’s Grace!  See how God leads us in these Rhythms in remarkable ways.

 

Next Sermon Series

Next week we start our new sermon series, Under the Sun.  We will be taking a look at one of the most real and down to earth books of the Bible, Ecclesiastes.  Written by Solomon it is full of wit and wisdom about this life we lead “under the sun.”  It also helps us to understand how much life is better with the Son.  So join us starting May 26th for Under the Sun!
