Nehemiah 9 Everyone loves a good story. We read stories to children before bedtime. When we meet new people we get to know them by telling stories about where we’re from and what we do. When we spend time with family or friends we regularly tell stories, and we often retell old stories. At our […]
Nehemiah 7 & 8 What are you hungry for? Your favorite dessert? A juice steak? Fresh fruit? How about The Word of God? The Holy Spirit was clearly moving in an amazing way among the people of Judah in Nehemiah’s day. Thousands of people of all ages had crowded into the open square near the […]
Jude 3, 20-21 It’s not everyday that we can celebrate a 500th birthday, but that’s what we get to do this week! It was 500 years ago that Martin Luther inadvertently began what became known as the Protestant Reformation when he nailed his 95 theses to the door of the church in Wittenberg, Germany. What […]
Jesus, the Alpha & the Omega Have you ever heard the expression “Don’t miss the forest for the trees”? As we’ve gone through the Bible one book at a time, we’ve benefited tremendously from looking at the individual “trees” of the Bible, some that we may have never looked at before.

Matthew: Breaking the Silence When you turn the page of your Bible from the last book of the Old Testament (Malachi) to the first book of the New Testament (Matthew), it’s easy to miss just how much actually happened between the times that those two authors took up their pens. And while many historical events took […]
Leviticus: Approaching God on His Terms Countless well-intentioned plans to read through the Bible have been dashed upon the rocks of Leviticus. Many epic stories in Genesis & Exodus — creation, the fall, the flood, the exodus — give way to chapter upon chapter of legal code, God’s laws for the people of Israel and […]
Exodus: The Sovereign Promise Keeper If you spend some time reading through Exodus, you will see that over and over again we read of God giving us His reason for planning what He had planned and doing what He had done. And that purpose is that everyone would see His glory. Join Pastor Larry McCall […]
Genesis: In the Beginning Where’s the best place to start a series on the whole Bible? Yep, the beginning. Join Pastor Kyle Brenneman in Genesis as we look at the key themes of creation, the fall, and the promise – the promise of God’s Serpent Crusher, Jesus, and the promise of a plan intended for […]
