Sunday Preview (October 23, 2022)
Matthew 5:7 | Forgiveness and mercy are concepts that we like to talk about, but are much harder to do. In our culture, it’s not uncommon to feel like forgiveness comes with a catch – ‘you forgive me, but why do I feel like I owe you?’. It’s almost like a constant game of bargaining. Maybe Jesus has something different in mind when it comes to forgiveness. Maybe we are invited into something deeper.
Celebrating Joe and Sadie | Joe Hatcher and Sadie Hawkins are preparing to move to Arizona at the beginning of November. We would like to spend a few minutes praying for them at the end of the service. Join us for this time of fellowship and celebration.
