Rattled
Worth (9:00 AM Traditional)
Text: Luke 7:36-50 As we conclude our series, we take a look at the topic of worth. Do we ever, even subconsciously, assign more worth to some people than to others- including ourselves?

“Doubt” (10:30 AM Blended)
Text: Mark 9:14-27 Mark’s Gospel gives us a story of a father coming to Jesus for the healing of his son.
