What are we to make of Jesus' miracles? In our sermon series in Matthew's Gospel, we are now encountering a couple of weeks of Jesus doing some signs and wonders that challenge us to learn how to trust God more. In this week's message, Pastor Kevin will help us to see if our worldview can embrace God's supernatural intervention in our lives, and give us the strength to step into a deeper life of faith. Do you have a strong faith in a weak God, or a weak faith in a strong God? One is enough to save us and the other isn't. Come and hear the invitation and challenge in the way Jesus operates in our lives.
Matthew 14:13-21 Worship: 9:00 & 10:30 a.m.
