Sunday at Pender ~ WOW!

wow-main

Please join us on Sunday, July 20th, as we continue our Sermon Series: WOW!

WOW: The Mystery and Majesty of God – Exodus 20:18-21

We have made Jesus such a friend that we have lost the mystery and majesty of God. Somehow God is so much a “good buddy” that we have failed to see his awesomeness and acknowledge that God is so great he is beyond our comprehension.

Let’s look at what it means to have a God hidden in mystery but visible in majesty.
