Monday at 10am
Morning Light meets at 10:00 at the church. Self-satisfaction and complacency could very well be a Christian's greatest enemies. These are the enemies that the apostle Paul addresses in his letter to the Ephesians.
When Paul wrote to the believers in the city of Ephesus, he wrote to remind them of their immeasurable blessings in Jesus Christ and to admonish them to live in a manner worthy of them. Paul reminds them of the spiritual armor supplied through God's Word and by His Spirit, and of their need for vigilant and persistent prayer.

Disciple Study Group in Room 1&2
Join us as we do a companion study to the hit new series “The Chosen” As we discuss the life of Jesus and “The Chosen” we’ll also look at what it truly means “to be chosen.” Being chosen by Jesus has beautiful and far-reaching implications. We are loved because He is love. We are saved because He is merciful. We belong to the family of God because Jesus invites us, making the Bible and all its promises as true for us today as it was for God’s chosen people. SEASON TWO!!!

Angels – God’s Secret Agents by Billy Graham Meeting in Room 1&2
Join us for Billy Graham's in-depth biblical study of angels. Even if you've read the latest book, seen the most recent TV show, or heard your grandmother's deathbed story, this is an indepth look at what God’s word tells us about these supernatural beings.
God’s invisible hosts are better organized than any of the armies of man--or Satan. Angels "think, feel, will, and display emotions." Angels guide, comfort, and provide for people in the midst of suffering and persecution.
