👑 This Sunday at The Current 👑
Sermon Series: David: A Royal Mess
Message: The Ark and the Beginning
📖 2 Samuel 6:14–22

Hey, Current congregation! We’re preparing the table for worship this Sunday and continuing our message series David: A Royal Mess.

This week, we’re looking at the story where King David brings the Ark of the Covenant back to Jerusalem. His over-the-top celebration gives us a glimpse into what happens when victory, joy, and worship collide. Have you ever been so caught up in a win that you made a decision you wouldn’t normally make? What happens when a king does that—especially one after God’s own heart?

Let’s explore that together this Sunday at 11AM in the Fellowship Center or online.

Hope to see you Sunday!

🌟 Join Us for Worship This Sunday at The Current! 🌟

We’d love for you to join us this Sunday at 11:00 AM for The Current as we kick off a new message series, "David, A Royal Mess." 🙌

Pastor Andy will be diving into the story of King David, exploring the highs and lows of his journey — from being called as a young shepherd to facing the consequences of tough decisions as a king. What does it mean to follow God’s call, and how do we navigate the challenges that come with our choices?

No matter where you are on your journey, you’re always welcome to join us for this powerful time of worship and reflection. We can’t wait to see you this Sunday!

📣 NEW VIDEO SERIES: Preparing the Table 🕊️

Hey, Current congregation! Pastor Andy here 👋 As we gear up for Sunday morning worship, we’re excited to launch a brand-new video series called "Preparing the Table." Each week, we’ll check in with you ahead of worship to share what’s coming and keep us connected as a community.

🙏 We'll lift up our kids heading off to Warren Willis Summer Camp — praying for fun, safety, and deepened faith.

As we all continue strengthening our relationship with Jesus, may The Current be a space that draws us together.

HAPPY EASTER SEASON!

We begin a new Message Series, this Sunday, called WE ARE THE CHURCH! We'll take 3 weeks to look at how we share the Story, Experience, and Love of Jesus with others.

This Sunday, we'll talk about the Stories we love. What's your favorite Bible story, and why? But also, what's your favorite story, period? What do you like about it? What brings you back, even if you've read/watched/listened to it over and over...?

You'll have a chance to share why you love your favorite story in worship!

We had a powerful Palm Sunday, the beginning of Holy Week, and the end of our series JESUS IS FOR LOSERS. All the signs that had sayings and slogans about what it means to be a Winner were literally turned around with the words of Jesus.
