“HIS WORDS” LENTEN TEACHING & DEVOTIONAL SERIES
March 2 - April 17
Join us this Lenten season as we submit ourselves to the words of Jesus in the book of Matthew. In our sermon series, “His Words: Practicing the Transforming Words of Jesus,” we will talk about what it means to follow Jesus, living a life of humility and self-sacrifice. Jesus calls us in the book of Matthew to repent, to follow Him, to forgive our neighbors. He proclaims that the blind receive sight and the dead are raised, and says that if we want to be great we must become servants. Jesus, the Word of God, spoke words of comfort, words of instruction, words of love. And He still speaks today through the power of the Holy Spirit. Come join us this Lent as we put into practice the transforming words of Jesus from the book of Matthew.

THE UNANSWERED PRAYER COURSE
Friday, April 1, from 7 pm - 9:15 pm and
Saturday, April 2, from 9 am - 12:15 pm
FL 201-203 (Rose Room)
Together, we will take an honest look at the hard and personal questions we all ask related to our unanswered prayers:
- Why do my prayers seem like they aren't working?
- Where is God in the silence and waiting?
- How do we get through hard times?
- When will our prayers be answered?
Our course time will be spent learning, engaging in Scripture, small group discussion, and prayer. The course material is based on the book, “God on Mute,” by Pete Grieg. In-person attendance is encouraged, but a Zoom option is available. To find the answers, we will seek out Jesus and focus on his journey from the Garden of Gethsemane, to the cross, and ultimately the resurrection. RSVP - here.
