Sunday & Wednesday — updated each week.

From Pastor Brian

Monday, July 13

Keep your heart burning with holy fire until we gather again this Sunday! Read God's Word and pray today. Love the Lord with all your heart, as he commands. The nearness of God is your good!

How to Become a Child of God

John 1:6–13

This Sunday · July 19 · 10:00 a.m. CT

Merit School of Music · 2nd floor, room 210

Many people believe that every human is a child of God. Not so. All people are created by God and are his offspring in that sense, but to become a forgiven and beloved child of God we must do more than be born. In this message you will learn why and how to receive Christ.
