This Week’s Message – “Sovereignty and Connection”
by Pastor Dan Stockum
As Christians, we believe that God orders the events of our lives and orchestrates all of history toward a glorious conclusion. But does that mean we don’t have a role to play? This week, we’ll study how Ruth and Boaz each made their connection with one another possible and how they model healthy relationship—even God’s with us.
Scripture Focus: Ruth 2
A BCC Group is a gathering of people just like you who come together each week in a relaxed setting to share their lives, their insights into the Bible, and their gifts and talents for serving Jesus Christ. Life’s a journey, and the happiest people walk the road with others. Find your own traveling companions in a BCC Group.
