Current Sermon Series - Back to Genesis!

If you’ve ever tuned in to a movie when it was half over, or started watching a TV series toward the end of a season, you know how confusing it can be: you watch a scene that you can tell is important, but you don’t understand why it matters. It’s hard to see the significance of plot twists when you don’t know the plot, or character development when you’re not familiar with the characters. Reading the Bible can be a lot like that: the significance of each part of the Bible is hard to see apart from a clear view of its overall storyline. Thankfully, all the main elements of the Bible’s story are introduced in its earlies chapters, and getting to know these chapters will help us understand everything that follows them. Join us as we resume our study through the Book of Genesis this Fall at Harvest.

Isaiah - Redemption Revealed, Phase 2

Every Sunday before Services
8:30 am in Room 202
Class taught by Randy Armstrong


Jesus (and the Apostle Paul) often quoted from the book of Isaiah.  Why?  
    Isaiah tells us of:
    - The reaching out of the heart of God,
    - The tragic rebellion of mankind,
    - The resulting corrective judgment, and
    - God's redemption and future hope.  
    At first, Isaiah can seem confusing, but knowing the background makes it surprisingly clear.  Join us as we explore the greatest of the Old Testament prophets.
