Sunday Service: January 11th

January 11th               Encouragement 101: Prepare for the Coming of Jesus - Hebrews 10:24-25

Through His death on the cross, Jesus has restored our broken relationship with God and given us direct access to His presence as believers in Christ.
What should our response look like to this indescribable gift, as we seek to faithfully follow Him? We’ll look at practical ways in which we, as Christians, must prepare for the return of our Savior by staying connected to Him- and each other.

We’ll start with questions related to the Sunday sermon text and then open our time up to address any other issues on your minds. Bring your questions, and let’s talk!

Life Explored Class

Sundays,  January 18 - March 1, 2026
8:30 am - 9:30 am
Room 116- Conference Room

Is there something or someone who can provide the happiness, fulfillment and peace that we all desire but which the world around us fails to fully or permanently supply?

The seven-week Life Explored course addresses what the Bible says about the big questions of life. In the process, it helps us consider what we are really living for and how God can meet our deepest desires for happiness.

The things we’ll study about God include the foundational elements of spiritual growth and, as such, are of value to the questioning unbeliever and mature Christian alike. So, whether you’re simply examining the faith or are a seasoned follower of Jesus, this course is for you. And, if you’re a spiritual parent walking with a new believer or you are helping a person with questions about God, please “bring-vite” them.
