Sunday At Hephatha
Join us for worship this Sunday as we welcome Pastor Andrew Eddins.
In his sermon entitled "The Gospel". Our world is full of competing gospels — gospels of success, comfort, achievement, and self fulfillment. But we will turn our attention to the gospel of the kingdom of God, the gospel Jesus Himself proclaimed. In this gospel, Jesus extends a life changing invitation: to apprentice with Him, to learn from Him, to walk with Him, and to live under His gracious reign.
 
This Sunday's sermon is entitled "The Gospel" based on Matthew 4:23–5:12.
 
Hope you can join us either in person or online!
View the service online on Sundays at 10:15 am on YouTube.
