Pastor Kenny will be preaching on“Revival Means MORE” (Psalm 77:11-12; Acts 19:1-7)
Are you satisfied with your spiritual life? Do you feel you have all of Jesus in your life that there is to have? How could we ever believe we have all of God? So we need MORE. Let’s see how we encounter more of God!

At our 9:30 Common Ground Worship Service, RevKev will continue his Sermon Series on “The Stories of Jesus.” His sermon this Sunday is entitled “Love Your Enemies” (Luke 6:27-36)
