Made for Wonder
Sunday Worship Message Series | January 19 - February 16
In a world that often feels ordinary and mundane, God invites us to embrace our innate longing for awe, curiosity, and amazement. Drawing inspiration from the book of Habakkuk, we journey with the prophet as he grapples with questions, doubts, and a deep desire to encounter the wonder of God. Through this series, we explore how wonder can transform our faith, restore our hope, and ignite a sense of awe in our relationship with God. You were made for more.

What Happens Next
by Max Lucado
Tuesday | January 21 | 7:00-8:15 PM | Online via Zoom
What Happens Next is an optimistic, accessible, and nonsensational guide to what the Bible says about heaven's time line that will empower you to face the future with faith. Max takes you on a well-researched examination of the essential milestones such as the rapture, the seven years of tribulation, and the glory of heaven. You will be encouraged to ponder God's promises for the future. "It's all about hope. It's all about him."
This 6-week video Bible study is facilitated by Becky Marchiando. The study group meets online via Zoom on Tuesday evenings January 21 through February 25 at 7:00 PM. Sign up online or at the welcome center so that we can send you Zoom credentials you'll need to participate. We'd love to have you join us!
