The Hillside Pulpit

Join us through this year long series called "Journey through the Bible." The Goal is the show the cohesive unity of the Bible as one story--the story that God is writing through human history for the glory of his name through Jesus Christ. We begin where all good stories begin: in the beginning. From creation, we learn God is utterly unique. He has unchallengable rights and authorities over his creation. And He created for a purpose--for us to be kings and queens, representatives of his glory and reign in the earth. This sermon was presented to Cottondale Baptist Church in Eastman, GA on 8/12/18 during the 11am service by pastor Chad Hendley.
