CURRENT SERMON SERIES

For many our schedules get full as the weather turns cooler and we transition into fall. We can get so busy fulfilling the demands of life. Jesus relates to us in this. He experienced all the day to day demands of life plus the demand of his mission to save the world! In the midst of this pressure, we see him in the Gospels consistently eating and drinking with others. It was as if Jesus’ strategy of purpose was gathering around the table with others for a long meal. Join us as we learn the ways Jesus loved people and invited them into a transforming relationship, as we are challenged to embrace the ancient and unhurried ways of our Lord.
