NEW SERMON SERIES

Stories of Plenty: From Scarcity to Plenty in the Kingdom of God.

“Will there be enough?” It is a question we find ourselves asking daily. Will there be enough money to pay the bills, to send my child to college, to provide for my retirement? In the future will there be enough trust, mercy and hope to go around? In our Lord’s economy there is always plenty. Find out how this is true in this five-week sermon series. Prepare your hearts and minds for each message by following the Daily Journal inserted in the bulletin or available through the church website.
