A Midweek Update from Pastor Jim
“God is the one who makes the sun rise and sustains us through every single breath of our lives.”
Watch this quick midweek update from Pastor Jim as we look ahead to Week 5 of our RESIST series in Daniel 5! This Sunday, we’ll look at the story of King Belshazzar and unpack what it means that God is the ultimate Judge.
Prayer Request: Please be lifting up our church team in prayer as preparations continue for our upcoming trip to Ethiopia!
Join Us This Sunday at 10 AM—whether you’ve been here for years or are looking for a church home, there is a seat waiting for you.
