“JESUS PEOPLE”
We’re all entering 2021 with big hopes and dreams - new cars, new jobs, maybe even new children! Could these be small in comparison to the hopes and dreams God has for us? What if, in the midst of the uncertainty and opportunity this year brings, God wants us to not just accumulate more or relax more but to become more?
What would 2021 be like if we became known as “Jesus People”? Join us this Sunday as we study Jesus’ conversation with His people scattered throughout the ancient world. By learning from their failures and their victories, we will seek to become “Jesus People.”

JOHN GORVEATTE I LEAD PASTOR
“Jesus People” WEEK 4
KEY PASSAGE: Revelation 2:12-17 NIV
To the Church in Pergamum
12 “To the angel of the church in Pergamum write:
These are the words of him who has the sharp, double-edged sword. 13 I know where you live—where Satan has his throne. Yet you remain true to my name. You did not renounce your faith in me, not even in the days of Antipas, my faithful witness, who was put to death in your city—where Satan lives.
14 Nevertheless, I have a few things against you: There are some among you who hold to the teaching of Balaam, who taught Balak to entice the Israelites to sin so that they ate food sacrificed to idols and committed sexual immorality. 15 Likewise, you also have those who hold to the teaching of the Nicolaitans. 16 Repent therefore! Otherwise, I will soon come to you and will fight against them with the sword of my mouth.
17 Whoever has ears, let them hear what the Spirit says to the churches. To the one who is victorious, I will give some of the hidden manna. I will also give that person a white stone with a new name written on it, known only to the one who receives it.
