Digital Update - April 12, 2024

Jesus is at the end of his great sermon. He has outlined for his listeners what it means to be a citizen of the Kingdom of Heaven - a follower of Jesus. He has reminded them that they will need to be salt and light to the world. Their words and actions are to be in stark contrast to that of the religious elite of their time. More than external actions, their obedience must flow from the heart. Now Jesus explains that there are only two choices - accept me and my teachings or reject me. There is no third option. Join us live or online this Sunday in our final sermon from our series - Proclamation of the King.

We are continuing to support the Ben Blessed Ministry by providing them with 30 meals every Monday! We are looking for people willing to make soups or casseroles & desserts. (Food should be dropped off at the church kitchen Mondays by 4pm.) If you'd like to cook or bake items for an upcoming week OR if you'd like to help portion & pack these meals, contact Jason Butler at: 582-895-1583. We would also like to include a short, handwritten note or card with each meal. If you are unable to help with making or packing of the food but would like to be a part of this ministry, providing general encouraging cards or notes is a great way to do so.
