April 25, 2025


There are countless phrases we’ve all heard that sound biblical, but when taken out of context, they miss the authors intentions. Many well-meaning half-truths have been passed down through generations, but when we take a closer look, we find that the Bible actually teaches something different. In this "Half Truths" seven-week series, we’ll examine some of the most common “Bible-sounding” phrases, compare them with Scripture and discover what God’s Word really says.


Jeff Kersey, Pastor Emeritus, will be preaching in the Auditorium for the Contemporary Worship services; Chris Morgan, High School Coordinator, will be preaching in the Sanctuary for the Traditional Worship services.


For those worshiping remotely, you're invited to watch our services online, on Facebook and YouTube.
