“BIG BARK, LITTLE BITE"
Text: I Peter 5:8
Scripture text: I Peter 5:8 Stay sober, stay alert! Your enemy, the Adversary, stalks about like a roaring lion looking for someone to devour.
John Wesley's Notes-Commentary: I Peter 5:8
| 5:8 | But in the mean time watch. There is a close connexion between this, and the duly casting our care upon him. How deeply had St. Peter himself suffered for want of watching! Be vigilant - As if he had said, Awake, and keep awake. Sleep no more: be this your care. As a roaring lion - Full of rage. Seeking - With all subtilty likewise. Whom he may devour or swallow up - Both soul and body. |
Speaker: Pastor Dee Kelley
- 9:00am: Classic Service in Ellipse Chapel
- 10:30am: New Celebration Service in FLC

Please bring an item or drink to share. We will also take up a collection of money if you want to contribute to a gift for them.

We have a new mid-high pastor: Niko Garcia! Niko has interned with our teens for two years. He knows us well and our teens already love him. Niko graduated from PLNU this May with a major in Christian Ministry. He has a part-time job with the University serving as an Assistant Resident Director. His work at the church will also be part-time. We hope the next few months will provide great opportunities for you to get to know him better.
