Resolved | Daniel 1:1–20

“Faith in Exile” - This month through VBS, our kids will venture into Babylon to learn how Daniel and his friends trusted and followed God, even when doing so meant they had to stand firm against the cultural pressures surrounding them. It’s good for all of us, whether we come to VBS or not, to learn those same lessons by seeing God’s servants trust and follow Him even when the world goes the opposite way. Through the godly obedience of Daniel and his friends, we’re going to see that God’s way works out best in the end – every single time.

Holy Water | Mark 1:16–17

Whether it’s called the Sea of Galilee, the Lake of Gennesaret, the Sea of Chinnereth, or the Sea of Tiberias, this body of water was central to Jesus’ Galilean ministry. He called disciples here. He calmed storms here. He tested faith here. He performed miracles here. He changed lives here. But the sea itself was nothing exceedingly special.  Join us this week as we see that Jesus went to common places where He met regular people just doing their thing, and He made them holy.
