TWISTED

New Year Worship Series

Beginning January 4

So many people want to believe in God… but something gets in the way. A moment of disappointment. A harsh rule taught in childhood. A season where God felt silent. A tragedy that made no sense. Over time, our view of God can become twisted — warped by pain, misunderstanding, or half-truths. And when our picture of God is distorted, our faith struggles to breathe.
