SUNDAY WORSHIP 9 AM | NOVEMBER 7. God created life. But sin created death. And the inevitability of death is troubling. We have a variety of ways of coping with this reality, of protecting our minds from fearing it. We deny the inevitability of death or rationalize it to try to lessen its burden. But none of these things actually prevent it or our fear of it. Only one thing can truly alleviate our fear of death: the assurance of salvation, of life after death. The assurance of salvation is a helmet that protects our minds from fear. Join us Sunday in person or online/live and recorded service) as Pastor Arik brings us a message entitled The Helmet of Salvation from Ephesians 6:10-17 .
