WORSHIP ... GROW ... SERVE.


 


CURRENT Sermon Series:  FULLY DEVOTED
This Sunday (8/30) 
Missions
Scripture: Matthew 10

This Sunday we will wrap up our sermon series on what it means to be fully devoted followers of Christ and His Church.  We will study Matthew 10 and see how Jesus sent the twelve disciples out on a micro-mission to preach, heal, and minister to the people.  This week we will unpack the importance of moving from behind the safety of the four walls of the church building and serving in our community.   What we will discover is that to be a fully devoted follower of Christ, we need to be a presence and minister in the community where the Lord has placed us.
