THIS WEEK’S NEWS
Join us this Sunday for worship @8:30am in Lewis Hall or @11am in our Sanctuary. Pastor Hannah leads us with her sermon entitled “Follow by Faith.” This week, our “Life and Death” sermon series lead s us to Abram and Sarai. At the start of Genesis 12, they receive God’s call to follow Him into the unknown, with the promise to be blessed to be a blessing for generations to come. In worship, we will explore what it means to be recipients of this Abram’s blessing through Jesus Christ and how we, too, are called to follow by faith.
Let’s continue to walk into the stories of Scripture and be called and claimed by not just a particular God, Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, but by The God. Come have an encounter you couldn’t possibly capture in a selfie, but that instead captures yourself in a grand story of life-and-death and salvation.
