The Glory of Salvation Overview
In 2025-2026, our teaching theme as a church is “Pursue the Good Life.” Each sermon series shows us how the good life promised by the world falls short of the good life offered by Jesus.
The good life is ultimately a life of salvation from sin and relationship with God. The Glory of Salvation is a 10-week series to equip us to understand, rejoice in, and share the good news of salvation.
This page provides some resources to help you get familiar with the series and dig deeper.
