Dear Church Family, This Sunday, we will end our summer sermon series in Romans. Next, we’ll turn our sights on Sunday morning to a 6 week biblical theology sermon series.

On the Passing of Rev. Timothy Keller (5/19/23)

Dear leaders and friends, I chose not to offer hagiography this past Sunday over the passing of Rev. Timothy Keller. He met his Maker on Friday May 19. That being said, he has helped me know God, understand the gospel, and treasure Christ more than any contemporary pastor (that I’ve never actually met). Keller exhibited […]
