WORSHIP ... GROW ... SERVE.

NEW SERMON SERIES: One of One

This Sunday (3/15): Abraham

Scripture: Hebrews 11:1-17

 

This Sunday we will begin a new sermon series entitled,"One of One."  We will explore men of God who are examples of what it means to have extraordinary faith, extraordinary obedience,and extraordinary love.  Over the next couple of weeks we will look at three men who were "one of one" of the people in their day.  Ultimately, in this sermon series, we will learn what it takes to be "one of one" for the Lord where we work, where we play, and where we live.  So join us Sunday as we look at the remarkable life of Abraham.  - ART
