Hearts on Fire

with Pastor Robert Samuel King

Book Discussion

THIS Sunday | 5:00pm

Tidwell Hall

Pastor Robert Samuel King is a passionate faith leader and bridge builder. His dreams and passions focus on seeing persons of all ages, ethnicities and cultures live meaningful lives of excitement, love, purpose and joy.

In his first book, “Hearts On Fire: Your Roadmap to an Exciting Love-Filled Life”, Robert guides you through a roadmap leading toward an exciting life and love. The roadmap challenges key personal thoughts and attitudes that routinely keep us separated from living life to its fullest in our relationships and actions. By connecting anew to the love and power of Jesus, you are encouraged to seize the opportunity to develop a new focus, renewed energy, enduring passion and sustained purpose.

$Donation

Huffine Hall

Join us on Saturday along with 250 of your closest friends and be the first to hear Dr. Richter's next video study before it is released. The hero of our study emerges

in tumultuous days. But she was not the law "man" that many might have expected.

Our hero, the only Judge who bore the title "Prophet," served as the steady hand on the wheel of Israel's chaos for 45 years. Her greatest moment is the core of our study.
