Today’s Sermon
“The Signs of Jesus’ Return Part 3” Dr. Jeff Williams, Senior Pastor
FirstDenton Today’s Worship 8:15 AM Sunday Groups 9:30 AM Sunday Groups Worship Service 11 AM Sunday Groups Worship Service
What We Are All About Love God
We love God by living a life of genuine worship, prayer and study of God’s Word. Loving God means being fully devoted to Him and living a life of obedience.
Love People
Jesus said the world will know us by our love. We love people by first loving fellow believers in the church, and then loving and meeting the needs of people in Denton and around the world.
Make Disciples
Disciples are simply followers of Jesus Christ. We seek to make disciples through our worship services, Sunday Groups, Bible studies and one-on-one relationships. Our goal is to become fully devoted followers of Christ.
Share Jesus
At First Denton we believe everyone is called by God to share Jesus with those who are not yet believers in Christ. We are all ministers and God gives us unique opportunities to share the gospel message with those in our circles of influence.
