Good Intentions

May 1-22

 During this 4-week worship series we will look at four different sayings commonly used to comfort others that are often thought to come from the Bible. But those well-intended sayings do not offer the fullness of God’s promises that we actually find in Scripture. Join us as we explore God’s Word to discover better words to encourage and support one another.

MAY 22, 2022

Good Intentions: "This too shall pass."

MAY 15, 2022

Good Intentions: "God helps those who help themselves."

MAY 8, 2022

Good Intentions: "God won't give you more than you can handle."

MAY 1, 2022

Good Intentions: "Everything happens for a reason."
