Preparing for Surprises

This Sunday’s message is “Preparing for Surprises” based on Luke 12:22-40, and in it Pastor Kevin will help us think about what it will be like to meet Jesus face-to-face. So often we get hung up on doctrine and personal morality and ultimately it will be about coming to terms with Jesus himself. We’ll also notice that Jesus encourages us to be bird-watchers.
