Beginning Sunday, February 2nd, gathering every other Sunday at 5:30pm.
Description: This connect group will be following a video series on the book of 1 Corinthians by Jennie Allen.
Christianity calls us to sacrifice instead of living for oneself. We have to choose one or the other—we can't do both. The Christians in Corinth tried to live the Christian life in a worldly way. Paul wrote the letter of 1 Corinthians to a divided and self-centered people to remind them to follow Jesus and only Jesus. We'll see how the truth of the gospel and the Spirit of God can empower us to choose to follow Jesus every day of our lives.
