As We Gather
Paul’s words about love in 1 Corinthians 13 are some of the most well-known words of the Bible, some of the most familiar words about love in all literature. But despite the fact that they are used at many weddings, Paul is actually talking about life in a Christian congregation. Our interactions are to be marked by the cross-shaped love of Jesus.

Sunday Bible Class: The Gospel of Matthew
Are exorcisms still performed today? Who has the power to perform an exorcism? What is the sin against the Holy Spirit? Is it wrong to ask God for a sign?
Join us this Sunday for Bible class after worship as Pastor Mike continues a study and discussion of Matthew 12. In His confrontations with the Pharisees in this chapter, Jesus deals with all of these issues and more. 11:00 in Room 10.
