WHAT IS THIS SERIES ABOUT?

Revelation 12:11 tells us they overcame “by the blood of the Lamb, and by the word of their testimony.” Overcomers is a nine-week small group series about the power of Jesus and the stories of people right here in our church. Beginning with an introduction from Pastor Zuniga, we’ll hear eight testimonies of how God has helped people overcome shame, fear, grief, addiction, relational brokenness, doubt, sin, and struggles with belonging.

Each week is an opportunity to hear what God has done, have honest conversations, and find encouragement for what you’re facing. These stories point us to the Savior who gives us strength to remain faithful, even through difficult seasons. As we listen, share, and pray together, we’ll be reminded that our struggles don’t have the final word and that God is still working in our stories.
