App Sunday School Class Curriculum: The Reason For God. This class is using a video series by Timothy Keller called, “The Reason for God.” This six-session small group Bible study captures live and unscripted conversations between Tim Keller and a group of people to address their doubts and objections to Christianity. Using literature, philosophy, and Scripture, Keller and the group explore the truth of Christianity. This group meets in the Grappling Zone lobby at 11:15 am on Sundays. Join us and invite a friend!

Current Sermon Series: Prayers for Provision Praying for God to provide for us is perhaps the most common way we pray. We often ask God to provide us with health, healing, a new job, safety for our family, or for someone else. We request God to provide protection for us in danger, or to provide a change of heart for someone to mend a relationship. Does God always answer those prayers the way we want him to? Or is it more complicated than that? There are many examples in scripture of God providing for his people in different ways and we’ll explore many in this series that starts on Easter Sunday, April 20th, as we celebrate the BEST way thing God provided for us, salvation! This series is running from April 20th—May 25th. Join us and invite friends!
Weekday Small Groups!! Joins us for one of our small groups on Wednesdays at 7 p.m.! There are two options. Rick and Sherry Conrad are leading a group discussing season 3 of The Chosen TV series about the disciples at Linda Cook’s house (707 Maple Lane).
