"Who Is Jesus?"
Sunday Sermon
On Sunday we kick off a sermon series for the season of Epiphany entitled "Who Is Jesus?" Epiphany means to "manifest" or "make known," and the gospel reading for each week reveals some aspect of Jesus' identity.
Pastor Tim begins the series this Sunday, with the story of the visit of the Magi as told in Matthew 2:1-12. Through this story we discover that "Jesus is Good News for Everyone," as we are challenged to see how these "outsiders" play an important role in God's redemptive story by pointing us to Jesus, the light of the world.
Worship: 9:00 & 10:30 am
