The Cost of Discipleship: Others
Sunday, May 17th
What does it mean to live a good life? Philosophers have debated it, experts across every field have weighed in, and self-help books have sold it in 4 easy steps. Yet, somehow despite all that, so many people live without hope or purpose in their lives, leading to rising rates of addiction, polarization, and chronic loneliness.
We hope you’ll join us this Sunday at 9:00 or 10:45 am as we wrap up our series on the Cost of Discipleship by taking a closer look at the church and how we are called to show up for others.

WHAT'S HAPPENING THIS MONTH
Resurrection. Easter is the end of sins hold on mankind. Through the sacrifice at the cross, the death burial and resurrection, those that depend on Jesus have the promise of resurrection.
This May, we will go line by line in the Gospels, exploring the necessity, the prophecy, and the hope that is contained in the Easter story.
