LOVE GOD | LOVE OTHERS March 29, 2026 I montereychurch.com CONNECT TO OUR FAMILY SUNDAY WORSHIP A CAPPELLA 8:30 AM BIBLE CLASSES 9:45 AM INSTRUMENTAL 10:45 AM All services are livestreamed ADULT BIBLE CLASSES For the Spring we will be studying "The Life of David". But, as a twist, we won’t be hitting the greatest hits. David’s story is more than a shepherd and a giant. It’s the journey of a man anointed before he was ready, hunted before he was crowned, and humbled after he rose to power. In this ten-week walk through 1 & 2 Samuel, we’ll explore calling, fear, leadership, failure, and faith—and discover what God sees when He looks at the heart. Let’s learn how a faithful God works through flawed people, shaping hearts in caves, crises, and crowns alike.

A curious Pharisee comes to Jesus in the night. A weary woman meets him beside a well. Grieving sisters wrestle with loss at a tomb. And a devoted follower encounters the risen Christ in a garden. In this four-week series leading up to Easter, we will listen in on four life-changing conversations people have with Jesus: Nicodemus (John 3), the Samaritan woman (John 4), Mary and Martha in the story of Lazarus (John 11), and Mary Magdalene on the morning of the resurrection (John 20). Each encounter reveals something powerful about who Jesus is and how he meets people in their questions, doubts, grief, and longing. As we prepare for Easter, our hope is that we will not only learn from their conversations with Christ—but also begin to recognize our own stories in theirs and discover how Jesus continues to meet people and transform lives today.
