Summer Series Continues
SUN 9 & 10:45AM
Plead My Cause
Scripture: Psalm 153-160
Rev. Nate Powell
The Resh stanza is one of the most concentrated calls for God's intervention in the psalm. The psalmist pleads: look at my affliction, plead my cause, redeem me, give me life. But his plea is grounded entirely in God's Word: "Many are my persecutors and my adversaries, but I do not swerve from your testimonies" (v. 157). The Word is not just what he holds, it's his argument before God.

Life Groups Launch this Sunday (formerly Small Groups)
SUN AUG 16 / 9 & 10:45AM SANCTUARY & LOBBY
Our mission is Pursuing New Life Together in Jesus, and we believe faith grows best in community. That's why we have Life Groups—places where people build meaningful relationships, grow in faith, pray together, ask honest questions, and encourage one another as they follow Jesus. Some of life's most meaningful moments of growth happen not only on Sundays, but also around tables, in living rooms, and in everyday life together.
Join us this Sunday, August 16, as we share more about Life Groups and how you can get connected. We can't wait to help you find your place!
