Join us for worship this Sunday as we continue a sermon series “Belief and Behavior” a series on the book of 1 Thessalonians. What we believe shapes how we live. This series will guide us through Paul’s powerful call to a faith that is rooted in truth and expressed in everyday life. Paul invites us to examine how genuine belief transforms our choices, our character, and our witness in the world. Come ready to grow, be challenged, and be encouraged.
This Sunday’s sermon is entitled
“The Impact of the Gospel”
based on 1 Thessalonians 1:4–10.
Hope you can join us either in person or online! |
