CURRENT SERMON SERIES:
KINGDOM COME
This week (10/16):
"Build His Kingdom"
Scripture: Matthew 16:13-20
This Sunday we will celebrate 112 years of building God's Kingdom in the hearts and lives of countless people. We will unpack a well-known passage of scripture from Matthew, where Jesus asks an important question. Jesus asks, "
Who do you say I am?"
This question is one that all of us will have to answer. What we will discover is that the Kingdom is built and established in the hearts of people who make Jesus their Lord and Savior. The church is built on Jesus and the truth of who He is. This Sunday make plans to celebrate with us as we marvel at what Christ is building here.
