The Bible is God’s love letter to us. It is centered on the great news of
abundant life found in Jesus Christ, His Son.
It provides trustworthy direction for our journey of faith—for a lifetime. And when we respond in love and obedience to God, we discover the purpose, blessing, joy, hope, love and peace we’ve been looking for.
SUNDAYS
THE GOSPEL OF MATTHEW
6:30 PM, ZOOM CLASS | CLICK HERE FOR CLASS LINK
Led by Rev. Dr. Glenn Sunshine
Christians throughout history have proclaimed that Jesus is Lord, but all too often we have focused on His birth and His death and resurrection and have paid little attention to the 33 years between the two. Glenn Sunshine is teaching an in-depth class on the Gospel of Matthew, taking a fresh and detailed look at Jesus’ life and teachings and exploring what they mean for us today.
