Men, our Breakfast Series is back on Tuesdays at 6:30 a.m. This semester our topic is Hosea: God’s Casual Lovers. Hosea tells an unsettling love story of a holy husband who refuses to give up on his fickle bride. In this men’s Bible study, led by Rupert Hunt Taylor, we’ll face the scandal of God’s relentless love for His faithless church—and see ourselves in Israel’s wandering hearts.
Beginning February 10, come wrestle with a God whose love disciplines, pursues, and brings rebellious sons home. Register below to let us know you’re coming and to pay for breakfast.

Missions Conference Opening Session with Kevin DeYoung
2026-02-21 17:00 - 18:15 | FPC Jackson Campus, 1390 North State Street, Jackson, MS, 39202, United States
Saturday, February 21
5-6:15 p.m.
Sanctuary
Nursery available for children age 3 and younger
The Missions Conference will open with a new event this year, featuring keynote speaker, Kevin DeYoung. Dr. DeYoung will preach on Lord of the Nations (Genesis 10), helping us see how God’s authority, promises, and redemptive purposes extend to every people group.
Often called the “Table of Nations,” this chapter reminds us that the diversity of peoples and places is not an accident of history but part of God’s sovereign design. Long before the call of Abraham or the sending of the apostles, Scripture shows us a God who rules over every nation and who is steadily unfolding His plan among them.
All are invited to gather for worship, reflection, and the kickoff of this year’s conference, as we consider how God is advancing His kingdom and how He may be calling each of us to participate in His work among the nations.
