SUMMARY:Adult SS: Ten Commandments Series Begins
DESCRIPTION:The Ten Commandments\nSept. 14 – Oct. 19\nTaught by: Christopher Miller \nJoin us for our first study of the year. Through our Ten Commandments study\, we’ll consider the importance of a Law in becoming a “People.” We will do this by taking a look at the most-well known Laws in the Bible to see what kind of people God wants His People to be. Each commandment shows the way that God wants His People to relate to Himself\, to each other\, and to the World to establish them as a People.

SUMMARY:New Sermon Series: Minor Prophets
DESCRIPTION:Starting on August 17\, we will be officially wrapped up with the book of Romans and will begin a new sermon series in the Minor Prophets. We’ll move at a quicker pace through these twelve books in the Old Testament and hope to conclude them all in one year. Every book and collection of books in the Bible is breathed by God and profitable for teaching\, reproof\, correction\, and training in righteousness\, but these books in particular stand out as uniquely applicable to the church today\, as we wait upon the Lord. Most surveys of Christians today find that the Minor Prophets are considered the hardest section of books to understand and\, not surprisingly\, among the least read in the church. For this reason alone\, it is a good part of the Bible for us to study together! We hope you’ll join us on Sunday\, August 17 (and every Sunday for the next 52 weeks)\, to explore together the twelve Minor Prophets.
