New Summer Sermon Series

July 5 - August 9 

"CORE FAITH - The Gospel of Matthew"

Core Faith Sermon Series.jpg

The Gospel of Matthew was primarily written for a Jewish-Christian audience between 80 and 90 AD, where Jesus uses parables of the kingdom to reveal that God's reign operates differently than human expectations would have it. Through these stories, He teaches that the kingdom begins in humble, unseen ways but possesses an unstoppable, transformative power, infinite value, and will ultimately face a final, perfect judgment.

Children's Sunday School Lesson

"Daniel Chooses"

Daniel 1:1-21 

In today's Bible story, Daniel was selected to serve in the palace of Babylon and was offered food from the king's menu. However, Daniel knew it wasn't what God wanted, so he would not eat the king's food. Daniel chose to follow God's law and grow closer to God.
