Acknowledging, resisting, and fleeing temptation can be difficult. Temptation is something that rises up from within us - from within our own hearts and souls. But God is faithful! He knows what we can bear so he provides a way out.

Join us as we learn more about the faithfulness of God in this Lenten season as we build our anticipation and hope toward Easter morning.

The season of Lent is a 40-day period of preparation before Easter. From Ash Wednesday through Holy Week, the Christian Church remembers the suffering and sacrifice of Jesus Christ. It is a time to be dedicated to prayer, repentance, self-examination and renewal, which ends in the celebration of the Easter resurrection.

Transfiguration Sunday - Today is the last Sunday before Ash Wednesday (the beginning of Lent). Transfiguration Sunday is traditionally designed for celebrating the transfiguration of Jesus. In this glory we see a fuller representation of Jesus' identity. Just as the transfiguration prepared Jesus for His passion and death, so our observance of His transfiguration prepares us for our Lenten journey in which we concentrate on His sufferings.

The Great Reveal of God working behind the scenes of our life can give us comfort and hope when we are going through bad times or when we are still wrestling with something that has happened to us in the past.

Join us as we learn more about Joseph's "Great Reveal" from Genesis 45 and how it applies to us today.

Epiphany is the season of the church year extending from January 6 until Ash Wednesday. The word “epiphany” means an appearance or a manifestation, especially of a Deity. The Christian Church uses the word Epiphany to celebrate the appearance of Christ to the Gentiles. When the Christ Child was presented in the temple, the aged Simeon predicted that Jesus would be “a light to lighten the Gentiles.” This prophecy received its first fulfillment in the coming of the magi.
