All Out
What is the biblical and theological rationale in seeking the lost? Jesus Himself came for those souls - our souls - and we were saved by His work. Now, He asks that we join the search party. Don't feel bad if you don't quite "get it," because the Disciples didn’t either. Jesus had to show them.
Pastor Alf's All Out series focuses on one of Jesus' most unique demonstrations, when He met the Samaritan woman at the well. How He deals with her was mind-blowing for the Disciples, and their interaction compelled her to become a witness to and for her community. This multi-faceted story will allow us to get our heads more fully around God's heart for those who search for Him.

Into the Margins:
Parables from Luke
Last year, MDPC Sunday School classes and small groups spent several months studying the Book of Romans. This year, we’ll open our Bibles to the Gospel of Luke (click here for more information on this study). Beginning September 8 and continuing through Advent, Pastor Alf will complement that study with a sermon series on select parables from Luke.
