WORSHIP Traditional Worship
What's up with worship? Sermon series: "Broken Beauty" So often we do not allow the broken places of our lives to be healed, and they become something we are ashamed of. Through the work of God in Christ, our brokenness is not only redeemed, but becomes something new and beautiful that reveals the glory of God to the world. This Lent we will look at different characters in the scriptures who struggled with their own fragility and allow them to teach us ways to live that prepare us for the work of God’s healing in Christ’s death and resurrection.
