Sermon Series, Weekends through October 13 Luke: A Gospel for Everyone This fall, our senior pastor Dr. Davis Chappell leads us through a powerful, personal portrait of Jesus as seen in the orderly account by physician-author, Luke. Come experience this gospel’s unique point of view where compassion is central, the worldly order is turned upside down, and prayer and the Holy Spirit’s power change people and circumstances. Invite a friend to join you! Pastor’s Bible Study Begins Wednesday, September 11, 6:30 pm, Sanctuary Dr. Davis Chappell takes us deeper into the Gospel of Luke during this 6-week study. No registration required.
