“What then shall we say to these things? If God is for us, who can be against us?” Romans 8:31

What is the "army" camped outside your door right now? Maybe it's financial panic, a struggling relationship, or heavy anxiety about the future.

Tomorrow morning, we are not just talking about fear, we are asking the Holy Spirit to replace our panic with His unshakeable presence. We are not going to leave the room carrying the same fear we brought in.

Come worship with us tomorrow morning.

The Promise

In ancient times, a king's "right hand" was the ultimate symbol of his power, defense, and victory. To be held by that hand meant you were completely safe from any danger.

In Isaiah 41, God doesn't just dismiss our reality or tell us we are overreacting. He tells us to look away from our own limited human solutions and promises to uphold us with His righteous right hand.

If you've been trying to hold your family and your life together on your own strength and you are completely exhausted, don't miss this Sunday. We are saving a seat for you.

Do you ever feel like you are constantly scanning the horizon, just waiting for the next bad thing to happen?

Whether it's sitting at the kitchen table late at night looking at bills, bracing for a stressful phone call, or just watching the evening news, fear isolates us. It tells us we are entirely alone to face it.

But what if the problem in front of you is simply outmatched by the Presence beside you?

Join us this Sunday as we kick off our new series, "Fear Not," and talk about finding the presence of God in the middle of our absolute panic.

Join Deborah Gist’s Sunday Morning Bible Study at 10:00 AM this Sunday.

This week, Deborah is bringing Colossians 1 all back together after tearing it apart to study the details.

From there, we’ll dive into Colossians 2:1–8. We will see how Paul extends his encouragement to Laodicea and warns the saints to reject false teachers. Don't miss this powerful reminder to stay close to the truth given from the beginning!

See you Sunday!!

Ever feel exhausted trying to serve others? Paul did too, but he had a secret weapon!

Join us tomorrow morning for the Deborah Gist Bible Study as we explore Colossians 1:24-29. Paul talks about his sacrificial service to build up the Church, and how he did it all by "striving with all His energy that He powerfully works within me." (v. 29)

Come learn how to tap into Christ's strength for your own stewardship and calling as we journey toward spiritual maturity together.

See you Sunday at 10:00 AM
Bring your Bible, bring a friend, and bring an open heart.
