Summer Reading Plan
Get into Scripture this summer with this 30 day reading plan. This reading plan will guide you through the Gospel of Mark, which is also the book which we are working through during Wednesday Evening Bible Study. We will pause our Bible study for the summer, but your personal study of Mark doesn't have to. Mark is an action packed book in which the author shows you that Jesus is both the Son of God and your Savior by letting his deeds speak for themselves. Though it is the shortest of the four Gospels it is able to profoundly affect the way you view Jesus and follow after him. Download the reading guide here.
Sunday Morning Bible Study
What God teaches regarding men and women has been controversial since the fall into sin. But now Christians face new challenges. Gender is a hot-button issue. Hierarchical relations in the home, the church, and workplace can be tools of abuse. Christians need clarity on what God teaches about men and women as well as their God-given roles. In this study we will learn what the Bible says about gender, how men and women are to serve together in the home and the church, and how we can show the beauty of these teachings in our roles today.
Wednesday Zoom Bible Study - Starts Apr. 26
Mark gets to the point in his book when he wrote in the first verse, “The beginning of the good news about Jesus the Messiah, the Son of God.” That’s the last time he’ll give you his opinion of Jesus. He will show you what Jesus did. Mark includes more of Jesus’ miracles than the other gospel writers. He shows you that Jesus is on the move from Galilee to Jerusalem where he will die and rise again. He lets you watch Jesus and listen to him so that you can experience him for yourself. Mark shares these precious memories of Jesus, so that you too can be drawn into his story and share in his joy.
Upcoming Sunday
Fifty days after the Passover, God’s Old Testament people celebrated Pentecost. Pentecost commemorated the gathering of the harvest and was also used to remember the giving of the Law on Mt. Sinai, the start of the Church of Israel. Christ chose Pentecost to be the birthday of his New Testament Church too. By pouring out his Holy Spirit, Christ empowered the Church to gather in the great harvest of souls won by the Son.
Sunday Sermon
Due to technical difficulties there is no audio in last Sunday's (5/21) service video.
