June Sermon Highlights
Throughout June, our messages centered on growing together as disciples of Jesus. We were reminded that spiritual growth happens in community as we build meaningful relationships, encourage one another, and live as the family of God.
We were challenged to share the gospel with those around us, recognizing that disciples don't simply receive God's grace—they help others experience it as well. We also reflected on the incredible forgiveness we've received in Christ, allowing His grace to deepen our love and devotion to Him.
Finally, through the faith of Jairus, we saw how discipleship involves trusting Jesus completely, even in seasons of waiting and uncertainty.
As a church, may we continue growing together in our faith, loving Jesus more deeply, and helping others take their next step in following Him.
