Wednesday Morning Men’s Bible Study - January 10
This is a small group discussion Bible study. We review one book, one passage at a time. Scholarly resources are often used for background information to inform what it might have meant to its original hearers, but our goal is discovering what it means for each of us today through open discussion and being formed into faithful disciples of Jesus.
Meets every Wednesday morning at 7:30 am in Room 203 in the Education Building. For more information, contact David Leonard at 321-266-2151.

Genuine Love Message Series Continues
Sermon Title: “A Life of Praise”
Scripture: Romans 12:1-18
By: Rev. Marisa Copeland
We believe God calls us to a life of genuine love. A kind of love that flows from the very depths of who we are, grounded in Christ’s love for us. Genuine love is cultivated and nourished through spiritual disciplines, like worship. But, what is worship? Is it more than simply showing up on a Sunday morning? How might our lives be transformed by our experiences of gathering together as a community of faith? We hope you will join us this Sunday as we rediscover what it truly means to cultivate love by worshiping with our whole life.
