Sunday Service: January 4th
January 4 The Point of No Return - John 3:1-15
235 million Americans (70%) say they’re Christian, but most probably aren’t according to the Bible. How do we minister effectively to people when there are different definitions of what “Christian” even means? As a church we’re all about making disciples of Jesus, but what is a disciple, and what does it mean for a person to become one? We’ll kick off 2026 with a look at the Bible’s critically important teaching on conversion.
January 11 Encouragement 101: Prepare for the Coming of Jesus - Hebrews 10:24-25
We will return to our Luke Series on January 18th
