On the Rock
2024 Summer Series
Our world is currently marked by political division, economic uncertainty, and social tension, not to mention our own personal challenges, leaving many feeling overwhelmed. While some around us have given in to hopelessness and panic, as believers we can have an unwavering hope rooted in Christ. Join us as we explore what it means to have our foundation on the rock as we follow the way of Jesus. On this page you will find general resources for this series as well as specific resources for the different topics we'll cover. We will also provide a passage guide each week and invite you to join us as we learn how to have hope, stand firm, and follow Jesus.
SERIES PASSAGE GUIDES

Standing firm. Following Jesus.
