Sunday Worship Preview - October 11

Sunday, October 11 - (8:15 A.M. & 11:00 A.M. Traditional Services & 9:45 A.M. Praise Service) & Wednesday, October 14 (6:30 P.M. Casual Service @ Crossroads, 2095 Fair Avenue)

Sermon - "A Cutting Edge Faith"

Features - 19th Sunday After Pentecost

Scripture - Hebrews 4:12-16 & Mark 10:17-31

Theme - For a variety of reasons, the Book of Hebrews can be a difficult read for many of us but it helps us to see how the good news of our faith can lead us into greater faithfulness in our relationship with Jesus Christ. Our passage today helps us to see that when we open ourselves to the word of God, it becomes like a two-edged sword that helps us to get out of our comfort zones and involved in risk taking mission and service. This is what it means to have a cutting edge faith.
