Sermon Notes

Additional resources for the week's sermon


We pray that the sermons in RUF help you.  For this reason, we want to provide students and supporters with additional resources to help them engage the passages we study.  Each week in RUF, students will be given an outline of the passage to be preached.  In addition to the opportunity to take their own notes, we will occasionally post additional information or links about the week's sermon.  Please check back here for any new resources.
