It’s safe to say that we’re all searching for peace in a world filled with uncertainty. Perhaps you worry about your kids’ future, becoming ill, or your finances. Maybe you’re afraid of losing your job, not getting into that university you have your heart set on, or a loved one dying. Or perhaps, you have profound regret and shame over mistakes you’ve made in your life. Whatever your burden, Jesus came to take it all and give you freedom.Join us today as special speaker Ray Hudson reveals how the Bible uses seemingly contradictory imagery to depict Jesus as the Prince of Peace, who turns our worry into confidence, our fear into faith, and shame into assurance!---------------ABOUT “IMAGES OF GOD”What comes to mind when we picture God? Some see Him as a kind old man with a big white beard sitting on a fluffy cloud. Others see Him as an angry, barrel-chested warrior ready to strike them down.

In our new series, GRiT, we’re looking at the lives of men and women of the Bible who demonstrated tremendous endurance and faith in the midst of impossible circumstances, unclear futures, insecurities, and the odds that were stacked against them.  Their stories show us how a perfect God works through imperfect people — often to do the seemingly impossible. And as a result of their faith, they left remarkable legacies that — thousands of years later — still teach us today how to persevere or endure even when doing hard things.This week, we look at the story of Noah, who was: righteous before God and blameless among people because “he walked in close fellowship with God.” And that propelled him to accomplish the seemingly impossible.And so can we.----------------------------------------Check in to let us support you in your journey.
