Starting Sept. 11-12

A Study of the 10...

Most of us have learned about the Ten Commandments since childhood. More than likely, we were asked to memorize the commandments and could probably recite them today if asked. But do we really understand their depth?

The message series, “A Study of the 10...,” will take an in-depth look at the Ten Commandments. We will discover why God chose that moment in the salvation story to give his commandments and discover how the original audience would have heard the decrees from their God. We will also begin to see how they apply to our current times and show us God’s love, inspire us to learn more about his grace and encourage us to live for him in our everyday lives.

   

Starting Sept. 11-12

A complete fall line up

We have lots of changes and opportunities for the entire family starting Sept. 11 and 12. So, plan to join us as we learn how to reflect God's light in this world!
