This Sunday: Speaking of Jesus "I am the reader of hearts."
Jesus is far more interested in the appearance of our inside than our outside. Following Jesus is a matter of the heart. He wants to help us develop a good heart out of which good things and good actions proceed. If the heart is good, good things happen. If the heart is bad, no good action can compensate for that. "But Jesus, on His part, was not entrusting Himself to them, for He knew all men, and because He did not need anyone to testify concerning man, for He Himself knew what was in man." John 2:24-25

Sunday Morning Adult Bible Study Groups
The 9:30 a.m. Studies in Scriptures class will finish up the current series on Apologetics led by Josh McConnell on July 31st and begin a new series "Getting More from Your Bible" on August 7th led by Allyn Phillips. Why are there so many Bible translations? What makes them different? And how can we use those differences to help us better understand God's Word? Come as we consider a variety of issues that will encourage a deeper appreciation for the Bible. The class meets in Heritage Room A. All of our Sunday Morning Bible Study groups open for new friends. If you are interested in connecting with any of our Adult Bible Study groups, contact Randy Shivers. For a listing of current groups check out the following link.
