WORSHIP ... GROW ... SERVE.

CURRENT SERMON SERIES:
KINGDOM COME 
This week (10/23): 
"Follow the King"
Scripture: Matthew 19:16-30

I want to thank everyone who worked so hard to make Homecoming a huge success. Keep up the great work!  This Sunday we will close out our sermon series in Matthew on the Kingdom of Heaven.  We will look at Matthew chapter 19 and unpack what it means to follow the King.  You see the incredible thing about any Kingdom is that there is a king to follow; without a king there is no kingdom.  We will learn that we, as believers in Christ, serve the King of Kings.  We follow no other king, so this Sunday we will discover what it truly means to follow the King.  - ART
