MINI STUDY: HAGGAI (part 1 of 3)
Life is full of competing priorities - but which one captures our heart? What is the thing that we love to spend our time, energy, and attention on? And what about the LORD β what place does to know and live for Him have in our life?
CONSIDER YOUR WAYS
Life is full of competing priorities - but which one captures our heart? What is the thing that we love to spend our time, energy, and attention on? And what about the LORD β what place does to know and live for Him have in our life?
The prophet Haggai spoke to a people for whom their relationship with God and obedience to Him was no longer their top priority, displaced by their own wants and concerns. Join us as we begin a new three-part mini-study series on the book of Haggai, exploring further what the Lord had to say through His prophet to His people then, and to us now, and to consider our own ways in the light of the truth we discover.

EASTER STUDIES
As we set aside time this Easter to remember and give thanks to the Lord for the salvation we have in Him our prayer is that we each would come to know Him more deeply and live lives that increasingly glorify Him.
To that end here are some Easter studies to help us to do just that.
JESUS PRAYS FOR YOU
Jesus prays for you. And because of this your faith will not fail. That no sinful failure or fiery trial we face will ever separate us from the love of God in Christ but as those kept by Godβs power through faith will continue to look to Christ and find in Him the grace and mercy we need.
One clear example of this truth is in the life of the apostle Peter. The once brash and self-confident apostle who denied the Lord, but whose faith, because of Christβs intercession for him, did not fail, but who turned again to Christ and found the pardon and restoration he needed to continue to serve and follow Him.
Join us we explore Peter's story in more detail and to draw encouragement from it for our own walk with Christ.

Easter Devotions
While we are not restricted to thinking about the Cross once a year, Easter allows us to set time aside, reflect deeply, give thanks, and celebrate what it means to us. Holy Week provides another opportunity to prepare our hearts to remember the events of Calvary, and our Lord who died there.
