WORSHIP ... GROW ... SERVE.

NEW SERMON SERIES: 
LIVING IN A HOSTILE WORLD
This Sunday (2/7):
"Dream to Be Used by God"  
Scripture: Daniel 2
 
In Daniel chapter two, Daniel is called upon to know and interpret the dream of the king of Babylon - an impossible task for anyone.  The only way that Daniel could even begin to complete this mission would be through the power of an almighty God.  Through Daniel's faith and willingness to be used by the Lord, the Lord not only saved Daniel's life, but received glory and honor through Daniel's service.  This week we will learn that we need to dream to be used by God and let Him work through us. - ART
