We invite you to study God's Word with us each week!

Biblical Teaching is a big part of who we are as a Church. God uses His Word and its proclamation to birth and sustain His church. Every believer needs the regular teaching of God's Word.  

Blessed is the man ... [whose] delight is in the law of the LORD, and on his law, he meditates day and night. [3] He is like a tree planted by streams of water that yields its fruit in its season, and its leaf does not wither. In all that he does, he prospers. ...Psalm 1

Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly, teaching and admonishing one another in all wisdom, singing psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, with thankfulness in your hearts to God. [17] And whatever you do, in word or deed, do everything in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through him. Colossians 3:16–17

Mark, The Gospel in Troubling Times

Has the message of Jesus become routine to you? Are the troubles of this current world crisis causing you great fear? Mark, the writer of one of the blessed Gospels, speaks to you this day. He says go back to the Good News! God has sent His Son to be the Savior! You are witnessing the death of the old world and the glorious birth of the New! These are rapidly becoming dangerous days. Many can easily make the case that our world has moved from concerning to troubling to perilous in just a few decades. When the church finds itself having to travel through fiery trials, it is tempting for us to think that Christians nor the world have ever had to endure similar hardships. But, when we succumb to this kind of fear and self-pity we are wrong.
