New Thread Series: "God's People Divided"
Our newest series explores the kings and prophets of Israel’s divided kingdom era. Through good, bad, and ugly, God never gives up on his people. Watch the Trailer for the series here:
God's People Divided trailer
In the first episode of the God’s People Divided series, hosts Dave and Hannah discuss the spiritual decline of Israel under King Jeroboam. Dr. Dudley Chancey, a specialist in intergenerational faith transmission, joins to highlight how the sins of Jeroboam led Israel astray and the consequences on future generations. Watch the Podcast
"Israel's Kings" on Youtube.
Here's a helpful Timeline of where's we've gotten so far and where we're going:
Call for Volunteers: Kingdom Kids Teachers

Prayer Points
This week we have prayers of gratitude for:
- Dave Z - update from the family "we got the results of Dave's most recent MRI. It's the first since he began his new medication in December. The results show that the lesion in his brain has decreased by 1cm overall and there is no inflammation at the site. This was the news we had hoped for after his December 5 MRI showed a 5mm increase since his post surgical MRI. His oncologist says it's not uncommon with this drug to see continued shrinkage of the lesion. Thanks for your continued good vibes and prayers." - Please continue to pray for Dave!
- Erin and Harvey: Update that they are both recovering as well as can be expected. Thank you for your prayers!
