This weekend, we will conclude our series by looking back at everything we have learned. The goal of this series was not to divide, but to inspire us to come together across generational lines. We are most effective for God’s kingdom when we stand together, utilizing our individual strengths to glorify God and make him known. This weekend’s message is titled “GENERATIONS: INTERGENERATIONAL.”

By “holding on to” what we have, we are really robbing God of what is rightfully His.

What they didn’t realize, and what we often fail to realize, is that God is the source of every blessing in our lives. When you remove the source, the blessings begin to spoil. They become a burden and a curse to us and those around us.
The first message in this series is titled “COLD LOVE” because God’s people felt like His love had grown cold. In this message, we’ll learn that God is unchanging even though our feelings fluctuate.
