The Story of God’s Reckless Mission to Save the World
The Story
This weekend we come to the end of our adventure through The Story. Since January we have been reading The Story of God and God’s people. This weekend: The final chapter! And how’s this for a clever title: From Tree to Shining Tree!
This week we look at the stories of the early church and how strange the Christian movement is!
Last week we looked at the darkest hour in history. But that’s not the end of the story. This weekend our Director of Pastoral Care, Alan Gardner, talks about the resurrection – The Brightest Hour in History (The Story Chapters 27/28).
This weekend as we continue The Story: When you look at the Cross, what do you see? You will want to read Chapter 26 in The Story as we focus on the Darkest Hour in history.
This weekend we get back to The Story (chapter 25) and look at Jesus’ provocative claim to be the Son of God…and what that might mean for your life.

This weekend my son, Mike, and I […]
This weekend we get back at the Story as we experience a touch of Christmas in August. We’re going to look at the birth stories of Jesus and ask: Who is it in that manager and what difference does it make? You will want to read chapter 22 in The Story.
We are very, very close to finishing up the Old Testament part of The Story. This weekend, the compelling story of a young Jewish girl who is called upon to save her nation–The Story of Esther (chapters 20/21 in The Story).
So far we’ve called down fire from heaven and survived 10 days of vegetables and a Lion’s Den. This weekend we head into the furnace, literally, as we focus on the question: Where is God when we go through the fires of life? Fireman Jason will be with us to keep us safe as we […]
Lions, veggies, chicken fat, staring contests, prayer, living grace in an un-gracious world, and the power of God. You will want to read The Story, chapter 18, about Daniel in the Lion’s Den (or read the book of Daniel in your Old Testament in the Bible).
