UPDATES

The gospel is not just for those outside the church. The gospel is for Christians too. In fact, the way that Christians “bear fruit” is by trusting in Jesus more deeply. As late pastor Tim Keller has said: the gospel is not merely the ABCs of the Christian life, but the A-to-Z. Believing in Christ is what saves us, but deeper faith and trust in him is what matures us.  The discussion questions for this week can be found HERE.  Discussion questions for previous weeks can be found HERE.  This week's bulletin can be found HERE.

It is not too late to join our Core Class which will be held through November 16th. We meet on Sunday mornings at 8:30 am in the Upper Elementary room by the skylight. 

This class is designed to help the Christian to grow spiritually. Broadly speaking, it is a course on spiritual disciplines. We will consider why we need to change, why change is hard, and how we can actually change to grow in maturity in Christ. This course will not be novel, but it is designed to help Christians of all stages of maturity to learn and grow together.

The handouts for this class can be found HERE.
