The first part of a brief but important message series, tied to the Christmas season, Marty looks at Colossians 1:9-14 to discover 4 reasons why Christ left heaven for earth. WHY JESUS CAME explores God’s perfect plan of sending Him to qualify us, to claim us, to rescue us & to redeem us.

Chapter 13 in THE STORY tells of King Solomon, who started his reign as King of Israel strongly, only to finish poorly. Wisdom and even warnings from God could not keep him from slowly moving away from God. It’s a biblical illustration of The Frog in the Kettle and it offers us wise instruction for staying away from “luke warm pots”.

In this 12th chapter of the Story, we learn about David's battle with sin. His failures with Bathsheba will cause a whirlwind of problems that David will have to face. However, being a man after Gods own heart, David handles the situation a lot differently (and more humbly) than we might. Join us as we explore these trials of a king!

Eight brothers, a towering giant, and a battle between kings. That's right! You guessed it! This week's chapter of the Story takes us through the early life of soon to be King David.

Can you recall a time when you fell hard? You probably got hurt, you may have been left with an ugly mark, and others around you could have gotten hurt in the process. In this week’s message, Kyle will explore the tenth chapter of The Story and see just how badly the Israelites fall time and time again. But there’s hope! For Samuel, the last judge God will send, will be the one man to stand tall throughout all of the Israelites failures. We’ll look at his life, his humble beginnings, and learn how we can stand tall for God!

Deborah. Gideon. Samson. These are just three of the judges Marty will be talking about in this week's message over The Story chapter 8. Then we'll see how a widow and daughter-in-law make a huge impact in God's story from the Book of Ruth and The Story chapter 9.

Join as we journey through the seventh chapter of The Story, featuring Jericho!
