the King In Action
current Series | October 25–November 22
What kind of King is Jesus? In this 5-week series, we look to Matthew’s Gospel (chapters 8-10) and find Jesus demonstrating authority over sickness, storms, and spiritual powers, and bringing to life the reality of God's Kingdom - and calling His followers to join Him in His mission. As the series concludes on Christ the King Sunday (11/22), we will see more clearly the King Jesus is and what it means to live under His Lordship and participate in the work of His Kingdom.
