| | | | | Moses has always been “the guy” to any Jew. He rescued, led, and gave the law to the people. What he did during his earthly life was unmatched. The problem is we can get so caught up on Moses or another that we fail to see the greater one that God promised and God sent. Jesus does things Moses and the law could never do. So, let’s take a closer look. |

|
| | | Who is the greatest? It’s a debate in sports circles, artist circles, fashion circles, and beyond. Even within the Scriptures, these debates are found: is Moses the greatest or is Abraham, is the law the greatest, or is grace even greater? On Sundays through May 11th, we will walk together through the book of Hebrews in a series called “Greater is He.” This book is a letter written to the church in Israel as they struggled to grasp the fullness of God’s victory in Christ. Chapter after chapter, we will see that Jesus is indeed greater than all things, all people, all promises. So join us by reading, worshiping, and being grounded in this eternal truth. Indeed, “Greater is He!” |

Join us on Wednesdays during Lent!
You are invited to join us in the Auditorium for Dining with Jesus, meals (6-6:30 pm) followed by worship (6:30-7:00 pm). |
|
|
Why around a table? Because that’s where our Lord often did some of His most important ministry. As a matter of fact, throughout the Scriptures, we see meals as a beautiful place where God does some amazing stuff. This year we will spend our worship/study time exploring the sacrificial system of the Old Testament as found in Leviticus 1-6. Yes, we are serious, and while we won’t be bringing animals to be slaughtered, you will be interactively involved in the series in some simple ways. Intrigued? Good! I’m pretty sure you won’t want to miss it as we dine together, grow together, and set our eyes on the greatest sacrifice, our Lord and Savior’s death. This series will carry us through and be our reflection on Good Friday. Join us!

Did you know that part of Timothy’s tithe ($5,000 annually) supports the operation of one of the apartments at Hillcrest Transitional Housing in Lee’s Summit? Timothy Hillcrest team volunteers clean and stock the apartment prior to the move-in date and then deliver a “welcome meal” which provides an opportunity to meet the resident and offer prayerful support. During the three-month stay in the apartment, the Hillcrest staff leads the resident/family to self-sufficiency on an “all need and no wants” budget. |
