Serve Our Church
Serve Our City & World
If anyone serves me, he must follow me; and where I am, there will be my servant also (John 12:26).
As each has received a gift, use it to serve one another (1 Peter 4:10).
His Passion, Our Power
How Christ Gives Life to the Church
Passion: the suffering and death of Jesus
Power: strength; a source or means of supplying energy
The night before Jesus was arrested, his first twelve disciples fought for position, slept through prayer, and cowered in fear. But just a few weeks later, they were preaching to thousands, standing up to persecution, and growing daily. The events of those weeks between changed everything.
Join us starting March 7 as we trace those transformative events from the suffering of the Son to the sending of the Spirit in Luke and Acts.
As we journey from Good Friday to Pentecost, we’ll see not only how Christ transformed them, but how he continues to give life to his church today by the Holy Spirit.
