Weekly Devotion

"Do not love the world or anything in the world. If anyone loves the world, the love of the Father is not in him. For everything in the world - the cravings of sinful man, the lust of his eyes, and the boasting of what he has and does - comes not from the Father but from the world." 1 John 2:15

 

CHURCH SERVICE ACTIVITIES: Oct 18 2026


This week Pastor Horne will teach us about the comfort found in faith, the importance of Jesus as the mediator to God, the promise of the Holy Spirit, and the call to live in love and obedience to Christ's teachings in John 14:1-24.
