This fall, we’re exploring the Book of Hebrews, which offers powerful insights into faith, perseverance, and the hope we have through Christ. Join us for this series as we seek to strengthen our trust in God and find encouragement in the midst of life’s challenges. Each week, we will examine how Jesus, our Great High Priest, empowers us to live with confidence and hope.



October 6, 2024 – "A Big Brother Like No Other"

Scripture: Hebrews 1:1-4, 2:5-12

Jesus calls you and me family. What does it mean that we have a Big Brother who was made perfect through

suffering?

October 13, 2024 – "γυμνὰ (gymna) AND τετραχηλισμένα (tetrachēlismena)"

Scripture: Hebrews 4:12-16

When you have a relationship with God, it opens you up in ways you never thought possible. Why is it good news that God will not settle for shallow, but desires to penetrate the deep places of our hearts?

October 20, 2024 – "The Only-Begotten Son, The Obedient Suffering One"

Scripture: Hebrews 5:1-10

Life often brings pain, but Jesus, God's Only-Begotten Son, didn’t become our High Priest without enduring suffering. Discover how Jesus offers hope and purpose in our pain.

October 27, 2024 – "Jesus Never Stops Praying For You"

Scripture: Hebrews 7:23-28

Jesus, unlike any other, will never leave us. He continues to pray for us, offering us constant support as our eternal priest, even when others fall short.

November 3, 2024 – "A Clean Conscience"

Scripture: Hebrews 9:11-14

On All Saints Sunday, we celebrate the freedom Christ's sacrifice brings, cleansing us from sin and enabling us to worship the living God now and in eternity.

November 10, 2024 – "What Are You Waiting For?"

Scripture: Hebrews 9:24-28

Many treat church as a ritual to appease God. But what if the gospel calls us to a deeper, transformative

relationship that changes how we understand salvation?



November 17, 2024 – "A Warning from Hebrews to the Church in America (especially post-COVID)"

Scripture: Hebrews 10:11-25

The book of Hebrews warns against a bad habit some early believers developed. Could today’s church, especially post-COVID, have fallen into the same trap? 

Our love, sympathy, and prayers are given to the family and friends of Elizabeth Talton who passed away on September 26, 2024.

Visitation will be in the Family Life Center on Friday, October 4 from 10 a.m. to 11:30 a.m.

Please surround her daughters, Joye Goodman, Richilynn Chapman, Jean Floyd as well as all who loved her with your prayers.

The response from our call for supplies has been great! We had a lobby full of much needed supplies. Nichole and Katie delivered the supplies to several different locations today.



*Special thanks to our Youth for making cleaning supply buckets and helping sort, pack, and load the MANY donations on our vans!

Nichole and Katie delivered these supplies to many locations today. They weren't able to get many pics but these are a few. Look at the damage to the church and it's steeple or the tree snapped and twisted in half. The damage is far greater than these pics. Pray for all who are effected.

Back the Blue Breakfast

Our Methodist Men hosted an apprecation breakfast for our local police officers. Thank you to everyone who helped make this possible.
