The Big Story – Holy Week

April 1, 2019

We reach the climax of the whole story this week as we  walk through Jesus’ life and ministry from Christmas to Easter. Linking the Old Testament with the familiar story of the New, we see Jesus as the new Moses, the New David, the one promised from before eternity, the substance of former shadows. And … More The Big Story – Holy Week

The Big Story – Week 6

March 25, 2019

We ended last week with God’s people far from the land of promise. This week we see them living as exiles and longing for return, redemption and restoration. There is promise and there is hope, as the prophets speak of a deliverer, but it is along time coming. Eventually the voices of prophets fall silent … More The Big Story – Week 6

The Big Story – Week 5

Was the story about to end? Quick … More The Big Story – Week 3

The Big Story – Week 2

February 25, 2019

Continuing our walk through the seamless story of the Bible, this week we meet Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. They journey from Egypt to Canaan and back to Egypt meeting God in unexpected places and growing into God’s promise. But then it looked like God had abandoned his people. Was the story about to end? This … More The Big Story – Week 2
