“A Disciple’s Path”

September 13 – October. 18, 2015

“A Disciple’s Path” guides individuals to take the next step in discipleship and become dynamic, engaged followers of Jesus Christ. The study combines a Wesleyan understanding of our growth in God’s love and grace with the time-tested practices of spiritual discipline expressed in the membership vows to uphold the church with our prayers, presence, gifts, service, and witness. Participants will develop spiritual practices, discover their unique gifts, and become engaged in ministry that brings transformation in their own lives, the lives of others, and the world.

September 27: The Priority of Presence ~Acts 2:42-47

Each of us has an instinctual desire to belong. Yet why do we spend so much time with our earbuds in, staring at our phones? Maybe that’s a symptom of something larger afoot. How can we better connect with one another and truly be present to one another?

20 Sep

Please join us for a wonderful time of worship this Sunday, September 20th, at our 8:15, 9:30 & 11:00 worship services.

Both Pastor Kenny & Pastor Dan will continue their sermon series based on our church-wide study, “A Disciple’s Path” and will be preaching on “The Path of Biblical Prayer” (Matthew 6:5-15)

Building intimacy in a human relationship requires careful attention and intentional discipline. In the same way, prayer is about cultivating a relationship with God and that also takes time. How do we do that?

23 Aug

Please join us for a wonderful time of worship this Sunday, August 23rd, at our 8:15, 9:30 & 11:00 worship services.

Pastor Dan will be preaching at all 3 services for the next 2 weeks on the Sermon Series: In His House.

This Sunday’s sermon is entitled “Embrace Your Place” (1 Corinthians 12:12-27)

When we find the place we’re meant to be, we can discover more about ourselves than we thought possible. In this two-part series, we’ll learn that the search for purpose can lead you to some unexpected places. In week one, learn to embrace the moment in time God has placed you in: you’re there for a reason. And in week two, we’ll explore how God uses highly unlikely people in highly unlikely ways to bring about highly unlikely results, when we’re just obedient.
