“Stockpile of Glory”

2 Corinthians 4:7-18

How do we faithfully face the challenges that come our way?

Pastor Kellen will apply Paul’s lessons on eternal glory to everyday living.

"Know the Theologians" 

Led by Dr. Jennifer and Dr. David McNutt

Scripture describes the followers of Jesus Christ as a family of faith. But do we know our family? Know the Theologians, a new book by David and Jennifer McNutt, reflects upon the contributions of 16 different theologians to the Christian faith across the centuries to help readers know their family of faith better. Co-authors Jennifer Powell McNutt and David McNutt will share what we can learn from those who have walked before us as followers of Christ and what it was like to write a book together!
