If I speak in the tongues of men and of angels, but have not love, I am a noisy gong or a clanging cymbal.

What's Happening
MIDWEEK BIBLE STUDY
Wednesdays, 11:00 a.m. & 6:00 p.m., Social Hall
Many Christians live as though what we see with our physical eyes is all that there is in this world. However, the Bible teaches that there is another realm of supernatural and intelligent life that plays an important role in our world—angelic beings. This study, led by Pastor David, will explore the doctrine of angels, Satan, and demons, answering key questions about their nature and the implications for Christians’ beliefs and behavior. A biblical understanding of the unseen reality of angels and demons encourages believers to be vigilant in the light of spiritual warfare and to be confident in Christ’s victory on the cross.
