Hello Families,

We’re looking forward to our high school excursion this weekend and the parent dinner and cohort Friday night! We have been enjoying the Chosen season 3 in our Sunday school class, and we finished our series “Focus” on spiritual disciplines last night. Reminders that grad slideshow submissions are due this Sunday and that we have our Ignite Family Night this Tuesday. Parents of teens, please join us for our parent cohort, where we will pray together and discuss upcoming summer events.

May the grace of the Lord Jesus be with you all!

Current Teaching

REASONABLE DOUBT: A 4-WEEK STUDY FROM THE GOSPELS ON DOUBT & QUESTIONS

SERIES OVERVIEW:

Have you ever heard someone say something that seemed unreasonable? Maybe they told a story or made a statement that was hard for you to believe. It’s not always easy to ask questions or express doubt when other people seem so certain, and that’s especially true when it comes to faith. If you ask hard questions about God or are honest about the things you’re not sure about, what will people think? Will they judge you? Will they laugh at you? But in this four-week series from the Gospels, we’ll see it really is possible to have questions and doubts while still having faith. Through Scripture, we’ll discover that when we have doubts and questions, we don’t need to ignore them or sweep them under the rug. Instead, we can look to Jesus, look to the Holy Spirit, look to God’s words, and look for God in unexpected places.
