Todd Jordan
Greetings: 

 

When Jesus finished in the Garden of Gethsemane, he was soon greeted by the kiss of betrayal by his once faithful follower Judas. This set into motion a series of painful events which would culminate in the crucifixion of Christ. As we Walk With Jesus on this road, our next stop will be at the home of Caiphus, the High Priest. There, a predetermined trial will result in a verdict of condemnation of Jesus by the Sanhedrin. Jesus will find himself falsely accused of blasphemy, Peter will find himself in denial in the courtyard, and the rest of the disciples will find themselves scattered. Where are you in the story, and what does it mean for your life now? Join me this Sunday in worship as we witness Jesus Condemned by the Righteous. 

 

 

 

                       Dr. Todd Jordan,

                       Senior Pastor

New Directions Class Study "Respectable sins "

Have Christians become so preoccupied with "major" sins that we have lost sight of our need to deal with more subtle sins? Navigator author Jerry Bridges addresses the "acceptable" sins that we tend to tolerate in ourselves, including pride and anger. He goes to the heart of the matter, exploring our feelings of shame and grief and opening a new door to God's forgiveness and grace. Travel down the road of spiritual formation with Jerry and discover your true identity as a loved child of God."   Come join us in Room 207.
