Summer sermon series: In Context

This summer, we will focus on our favorite Bible verses, exploring what those beloved verses mean in the context of the whole chapter and story of Scripture. Too often, familiar verses become separated from the larger message surrounding them. Together, we’ll rediscover the depth, challenge, comfort, and hope found when we read God’s Word in context. Join us as we look beyond the “highlighted verse” and encounter the bigger story God is telling.
