NEW SERMON SERIES: ‘JESUS REVEALED’
As our 7-week journey groups continue to meet, the Sunday sermons will be based on the “Jesus Revealed” discussions taking place in those small journey groups during the week. We are taking a “fresh look” at Jesus as he is presented in the Gospel stories.  This Sunday’s sermon topic is: “Jesus the Revolutionary.”
