Spiritual Growth Path

First Things First

Sermon Outline | Group Questions

This January we are going to take some time and set our priorities as a church from the pulpit. For the sermon series this year, we will focus on the discipleship path at Orchard, called "First Things First" (We call it our "Spiritual Growth Path" or sometimes for short you might hear "Growth path").

First Things First: Spiritual Growth Path

Bible Text: Acts 2:42-47 and Hebrews 10:19-25.

From Pastor Assad Saif

The last time I confidently said "YES! I'm ready for this year!" was back in 2020. Suffice it to say, I was not ready. However, I will say, I am feeling optimistic about 2024. God has been doing some great things in our church community and this year will be a year of our "10 Years of Orchard". Can you believe it? I am so grateful to be serving God in Escondido, with you at Orchard Community Church! I am feeling optimistic about how God will work in and through us this year.
