WORSHIP ... GROW ... SERVE.
CURRENT SERMON SERIES: UPGRADE
This Sunday (1/28): 
Upgrading Our Prayers
Scripture:  Revelation 5

In Revelation 5:8 we are told, "...  the four living creatures and the twenty-four elders fell down before the Lamb. Each one had a harp and they were holding golden bowls full of incense, which are the prayers of God's people."  Have you ever thought about your prayers to God being placed in a bowl and offered to the Lord as a fragrant offering?  So how is your prayer life?  Does it need an upgrade?  This Sunday we will unpack the importance of prayer and discover how we can enrich our time with the Lord.  - ART
