New Sermon Series: “This is our God”01/30/2012

Starts Sunday, February 5th

Following on the heels of our series “Know God in the New Year”, where we looked at what it means to truly know God along with practical ways to experience Him, is our new series entitled “This is our God.”  In this series we will take a serious look into the character and nature of God.  We will see what it means when the Bible says that our God is a God of love as well as a God of wrath.  We will see how God can be a God of grace while still being a righteous judge.  Join us as we explore the character and nature of the God who does not change and seek to know Him on deeper levels than ever before.

Join us on Sunday mornings at 8:30 and 11:00a.
