The Redeemed Community

"But you are a chosen people, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, God’s special possession, that you may declare the praises of him who called you out of darkness into his wonderful light." 1 Peter 2:9

This week we kick off our summer series called "Tribes." We will discover how God redeems us and makes us his people. Through this series we will look at why God creates community and what it means to be a part of the community of God as we journey through 1 Peter, James, 1 John & Jude.
