Guest worship leader, Daniel Heffington, will lead us in worship for our morning service. We will have an Evening of Worship and Praise with Daniel Heffington at 7:00 PM.

Daniel Heffington is a singer/songwriter who pairs unforgettable melodies with driving rhythms. A native Virginian, his original songs are steeped in the musical heritage and tradition of the Southeast and fit in with the genre-defying soundscape of the modern era. He’s known for the energy and passion of his live performances that feature soulful vocals and poignant lyrics.

In addition to recording and releasing original music, Daniel has been leading worship in churches since the age of 15. Using music to celebrate the hope of the Gospel is the continuing thread of Daniel's art and ministry. He is one of the worship leaders at Cornerstone Chapel in Leesburg, Virginia and regularly shares music with churches around Virginia.

With over 10 years of solo music experience, Daniel has played for crowds ranging from intimate living room audiences to headlining university concert events. His music connects with incredibly diverse audiences as he communicates stories of life, love, and hope through his songs. This has given Daniel the opportunity to take his music into music clubs, concert venues, summer camps, homes, and churches alike.

Daniel has collaborated with artists such as: Mac Powell (of Third Day), Mark Schultz, The Last Bison, and many others.

When he’s not making music, Daniel can be found cooking, exploring, speaking at Generation Joshua events, and hanging out at his favorite local coffee shops. Daniel lives in Virginia with his wife, Abigail and their daughters, Ellie and Piper.

Why does God allow pain and suffering?

Sunday's question is one of the hardest ones to answer, and it is one that all who have ever lived have asked or wondered.  You can watch the message below, or listen here . Some questions to consider this week: Share with your family or friends your own times of suffering. Who do you know who is suffering now? How can you connect with them and be a comforting presence? Where can you make the choice in your own life to choose "better" over "bitter"?

The Fall Feasts of God: The Feast of Booths

I LOVE God's story!  I always love reviewing the rich truths and prophetic realities of God's Feasts (appointed times). In Leviticus, very early in the history of the nation of Israel, God appointed seven times each year when His people would stop what they were doing and remember.

In doing so, we are welcomed into the realities of God's eternal story as well as His story He has been writing since the earth was created.  On Sunday, we looked at the final Fall Feas
