Why the Reign of Jesus Brings Hope for the World
Join us this December for our special Advent series at FBC as we celebrate the hope, peace, joy, and love found in Christ. Come be reminded why the birth — and reign — of Jesus continues to bring light and hope to our world today.
We’ll unpack from Scripture how the good news of the gospel is an announcement that there is a new king bringing a new kingdom. Rather than seeing Jesus’ rule and reign as something to run from or push against, we instead find great joy and freedom when we surrender to him as king and Lord.
This invitation is for everyone: skeptics, those who are new to church, returning to church, those who doubt, and more. We hope you'll join us to be encouraged and filled with hope!
📅 Sundays in December
