Our Easter series is Faith Resurrected. Each week’s message is based on words from the Gospel reading for that week. The message for today is “Come to Believe” and is a reflection on what it means to believe. Is belief more than just a thought or conviction? What does is mean to live your beliefs? Our risen Savior guides us in our journey of faith.
Our scripture readings for today come from Acts 4:32-35; 1 John 1:1-2:2; John 20:19-31.
Our latest series is The Gospels and the last message in our series is “John.” Each week we will explore a different Gospel account. This week we look at what sets John apart. What was John’s purpose in writing? His focus? Who was John? Do we know? See how the Gospels can be opened when you take each one and let the author speak to their own experience with Jesus Christ with their own voice standing alone.
