January Sermon Series: It's Still Complicated
Faithfulness in a Fallen World
2 Samuel 2 - 2 Samuel 24

When it comes to living in faithfulness to God, turns out we are all giraffes on roller skates. Even the best of us: Abraham, Moses, Mary, John the Baptist. All are complex people living in a complex world who find themselves one day gliding and the next stumbling. They sincerely followed God, that’s what made them the faithful, effective leaders they were. Yet at times they are overtaken by fear, anger, lust, or mistrust and they sin. And sin always has consequences. Faithfulness: it’s complicated.

Welcome this Sunday!

Dear Faith Family,

Please join me in welcoming Tre’ LeMalle (pronounced “le-mel”) to our music team! Tre' is a sophomore worship studies major at ETBU and will be serving as our Worship Leader. With David Luna and the rest of the singers and musicians, he will be helping orient us to God in corporate worship each week. Tre’ is originally from the New Orleans area and lives with his family near Houston when not at school. He has a heart for Jesus and is both thoughtful and passionate about leading others in worship. We are excited to have Tre’ with us! Please welcome him to the family!
