Sunday 9am Bible Study
Bold Strong Courageous
Moses was NOT always bold, strong, and courageous. He was filled with self doubt and at times out right frustration. Yet at the end of his days the Bible says this about him, "Since then, no prophet has risen in Israel like Moses." How can this be? We're going to look at a variety of bold, strong, courageous Bible characters so that we might become bold, strong, courageous disciples.
Upcoming Sunday
“Live each day like it’s your last.” You have probably heard that advice. It sounds wise—an
encouragement to take advantage of the time you have. However, that advice is completely backwards. Because the reality is, thanks to Jesus, we have an unending amount of time. Jesus has given you the gift of eternal life. You are going to live forever. If you really thought it was your last day, that belief would shape how you lived that day. In this series, we’ll consider how the gift of eternal life shapes how we live each day.
