Peter knew firsthand the experience of “falling from grace.” Not in a sense of losing his salvation, but certainly failing to live in a manner worthy of the gospel. In the gospels, we observe him talking when he should have been listening; sleeping when he should have been praying; and denying when he should have been testifying. Yet Peter also knew the experience of being restored by grace. His own experience led him to encourage other believers, through this letter, to believe that through God’s power we have been given everything we need for a godly life (1:3). Growing in grace requires intentional formation, remembering what we have been taught, and resisting beliefs and practices which are unbiblical. Join us in this series as we grow together.

Finding Hope is a support group for loved ones of addicts. Everyone is welcome to attend! It is an ongoing program, so it is open to new attendees each meeting. If you know of anyone that is in need of a support group like this, please pass this information along. Meetings are held the second and fourth Wednesday of the month from 6:30-8:00 PM in The Kirk Library. If you have any questions regarding Finding Hope, contact Jera Holder.

The book of Judges takes place after the people of God have escaped from Egypt, eventually settling into the Promised Land. Before they were ruled by Kings, the nation was governed by rulers called judges. During this season, Israel goes through a progressively downward spiral of unfaithfulness and judgment, followed by repentance and restoration. Yet in this spiral we can discern the good news, that no matter how far or long we turn away from God the solution is always to return to Him. He is gracious and compassionate, slow to anger and rich in love.

We’ll start with a single worship service at 10:30 AM. It’s a wonderful opportunity for us all to gather together as one community. After the service, we will go out into the community to support local grocery stores. The items we purchase will be donated to various organizations that assist people throughout Tulsa. This is a chance for us to directly contribute to the well-being of our neighbors and show our love for the community. Once the shopping is complete, we’ll return to the church to enjoy lunch together. It’s a great time to fellowship, share stories, and reflect on the impact we’re making.

Bring your family and friends to join in this meaningful day of worship, service, and community. We look forward to seeing you and sharing the love with our Tulsa community.
