I'm leading a sermon series at my church HilltopChristian Fellowship for May and June called "The Church
Revealed." We are studying Revelation, chapters 1-3. Revelation is the
last book of the Bible, and is often studied as an "end times"
prophecy. It also has a lot to say about our Almighty God "who is and who
was and who is to come"--and His plan for the Church past, present, and
future.
I'd appreciate your prayers for us. If you're in the area, we'd love for you to
join us. We have Sunday School at 9:30am
for children, youth, and adults. We have service starting at 10:45am. We're
right off Hwy 6 at 380 Compton Rd, Crawford, TX 76638, and have folks coming
from Waco, Speegleville, China Spring, Valley Mills, & Crawford.
We kicked off the series this past Sunday,
May 4. We will be studying the church of
Ephesus on Sunday, May 11. And so on,
for May thru June.
Here is the outline of the series:
