Message: "Get out of God's way"

Reading: Matthew 16: 21-28

Jesus tells His disciples that He must go to Jerusalem, suffer, die, and be raised again. Peter objects because God's plan does not match his expectations, but Jesus corrects him and teaches that true discipleship means denying ourselves, taking up our cross, and following Him. Jesus reminds us that gaining everything the world offers means nothing if we lose our souls, challenging us to surrender our plans, trust God's way, and faithfully follow wherever Christ leads.

The Worship Committee plays a vital role in ensuring that our worship services are meaningful, spiritually enriching, and inclusive for all attendees. We are dedicated to creating an atmosphere where every member and visitor can experience God’s presence, participate in heartfelt worship, and deepen their faith.
