We are offering a new 5-week study beginning August 28 entitled The Mission of Jesus by Ray Vander Laan.
It’s easy to think of the Bible as a collection of short stories, but each one makes up a greater story – one story of a God who created the universe and entrusted it to His human partners to care for it. They were unfaithful, and it fell back into chaos and sin. But God didn’t give up on His creation. He decided to redeem it, preparing the way through His covenant with Israel and finally by sending His son, Jesus, to become the cornerstone of it all through His life, death, resurrection, and ascension. What would this mean for a people oppressed by the Roman Empire, and what does it mean for believers today? Follow the rabbi through the world of Jesus, hiking through the Galilee region, exploring the ruins of Rome, and kneeling on the stones of the Temple Mount in Jerusalem as you discover how the gospel of Jesus confronts the gospel of Imperial Rome.
This 5-week study will be led by Pastor Steve on Wednesdays at 10:00 am in the Student Center OR by Pastor Mark on Sundays at 5:00 pm in the Chapel. Both sessions are identical, so choose whichever time works best for your schedule. We hope you'll join us as we study together.
