July Sermon Series: "Do You Believe in Miracles?" 

Part Two: "Wedding Season" 
Reverend Paul Arnold

Scripture: John 2:1-11

  This week we consider an unusual and uplifting story in which Jesus appeared to change his mind. Join us on Sunday as we probe the occasion when Jesus saved a wedding party. What truths can we glean from the Son of God’s intervention in a situation that was decidedly not a matter of life and death? How might this strange story influence our understanding of Jesus and his concern for every corner of our lives?

July Sermon Series: "Do You Believe in Miracles?" 

Part One: "Crazy Love" 
Reverend Paul Arnold

Scripture: Mark 2:1-12

This week we will consider the story of a man who was flat on his back. He might have stayed that way. Often in life, we cannot pull ourselves "up by the bootstraps." In most cases, recovery is not a solitary endeavor. This Sunday, come and hear the story of a man whose life was transformed when the crazy love and mighty faith of good friends put him in touch with the power of Jesus.
