🔍 Explore the Edges: The Outsiders Series Unveiled!

NEW SERIES ALERT

Join Rev. Marcie Stowers-Wilson, Rev. Tim Morris, and me, Pastor Clarence E. Stowers Jr., as we team teach The Outsiders Series, delving into the Bible’s most compelling yet overlooked narratives.

Through the stories of Jonah, Ruth, Naaman, and Rahab, we are reminded that God’s heart beats for everyone, especially those perceived as ‘outsiders.’ Join us as we uncover profound truths about repentance, belief, provision, and faith, inviting us all to extend our hands and hearts beyond familiar boundaries.

​

Together, we will explore the depths of characters who, though on the periphery, played pivotal roles in God’s plan. From Jonah’s reluctance to Naaman’s humility to Ruth’s steadfastness, each story unfolds layers of wisdom and inspiration.

Whether you join us in person at 7941 47th St, McCook, IL, or online, we gather every Sunday at 10:30 AM Central to explore these transformative stories.

Let’s recap this past Sunday’s Message: “Uncontainable: How God’s Love Shatters Our Expectations”

This Sunday, we embraced the vastness of God’s love in “Uncontainable: How God’s Love Shatters Our Expectations.” Through Jonah’s story, we discovered how divine love exceeds all barriers and expectations, inviting us to experience and share love without limits.

Key Takeaways:

• Embrace a love beyond understanding.
• Extend grace and compassion universally.
• Inspire transformation within and around you.

Don’t miss this impactful sermon, now conveniently cued for direct access, to deepen your understanding and practice of God’s uncontainable love.
