Peter | Luke 5:8

Peter was an ordinary person, simply trying to build his life and support his family, when he met Jesus. He spoke quickly, acted brashly, and often learned lessons the hard way; but he loved Jesus—imperfectly, but intensely—and God used him to change the world. Learn with us today how God can use imperfect people like Peter (and us) once we have decided to follow Jesus.

What is the basis for our hope as Christians? We talk about how, in Christ, we have a hope that anchors our souls even in life's toughest storms, but what is that hope built upon? Through Daniel, we are going to see the reason why we who trust and follow Jesus can have hope no matter what life brings is because our God is the eternal victor!

“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.

Faith-Filled | Daniel 6:1–28

Faith is more than a theory to be espoused or a theology to be believed; it is a life to be lived. Daniel lived his life of faith in God even when doing so was difficult in the moment, and he showed us that God’s way always works out better in the end.
