Family Discussion

Pastor Rich shares some questions related to this morning's sermon to ask as families.
  1. First, Read Ephesians 3:7-13
  2. Make a list of people in your life who have received the gift of telling YOU about Jesus. (And now YOU have received the gift of telling others about Jesus!)
  3. How is God using this time we're in with this pandemic to teach you about yourself? What is he teaching you about himself, about how you live your life, and about what matters?

During these days when our building is empty and people are isolated, we see this as an opportunity to slow down, rest in and draw close to God, care for our neighbors, and grow in our Faith@Home (read about our vision). Below are resources for children and youth, devotionals, recommended media on RightNow Media and other resources as they become available.
