The Chosen Season 4
Join us Wednesday nights for the Chosen. We will view and discuss season 4 of this series.
Clashing kingdoms. Rival rulers. The enemies of Jesus close in while His followers struggle to keep up, leaving Him to carry the burdens alone.
Threatened by the reality of Jesus’ growing influence, religious leaders do the unthinkable – ally within their Roman oppressors. As the seeds of the betrayal are planted and opposition to Jesus’ message turns violent, He’s left with no alternative but to demand His followers RISE UP.

Share Jesus Without Fear
2024-09-08 08:00 - 2024-09-29 17:00 (America/New_York)
Sundays at 5:00 PM starting September 8 for 4 Weeks
Most Christians want to share their faith but don’t out of fear—fear of not knowing enough, offending others, or being rejected or ridiculed. This four-session study will teach you a natural, nonthreatening way to share the gospel that reduces the pressure, arguments, and fear of failure. You’ll learn how to use simple questions in the course of everyday conversations to lead someone to faith in Christ. You’ll also learn how to let the Bible provide the answers to someone’s spiritual need as the Holy Spirit convicts and convinces the person through the power of God’s Word. Just like thousands of others who’ve learned this approach to evangelism, you too can experience the joy of sharing Jesus without fear.
