WORSHIP ... GROW ... SERVE.

CURRENT SERMON SERIES: UPGRADE
This Sunday (2/4):  
Upgrading Our Hope
Scripture:  Revelation 19

It is said that hope is the most powerful word in the English language.  Philosophers and medical doctors have known for centuries that where there is hope, there is the potential for healing; and where there is no hope, there is just the opposite.  In Revelation 19, John writes about the hope that is just over the horizon.  Speaking to a persecuted church, John writes about the hope that we have in Jesus, as one day He will ride into our world as a conquering King, defeating  Satan and evil once and for all.  The encouragement to the early church and to us today, is for us to not give up on the hope we have in Jesus.  So join us this Sunday as we attempt to upgrade our hope.  - ART
