We are continuing an annual sermon series we refer to as our New Year Essentials. These sermons address subjects to which we must repeatedly return for the glory of God and the transformation of our lives.

Today, we do a heart-thrilling flyover of the the Old Testament and ask, “This year, what story will most shape me—the world’s story or God’s story?”
