New sermon series for the 24-25 school year.
"His Story, Our Story, My Story"
I was looking for a good children's Bible to read with my grandkids. The Bibles I looked at were good, but it seemed that they were often missing the point of the story. Noah's ark is a horrid story of human failure and God's redemption, but our kids Bibles didn't point that story toward Jesus. They print pretty pictures of zebras and birds. The heroes of children's stories often don't point to the failures of the people we hold up as heroes...and thus miss the opportunity to say 'we are just like them...we mess up and God, through Christ, doesn't give up on us just like he didn't give up on Abraham and Sarah...and he sends Jesus to redeem us."
As Paul Harvey would say, lets find out 'the rest of the story'. We are going to take the common stories found in young children's bibles and connect the dots to our own lives and most importantly, to Jesus.
Come in person to Covington Trinity United Methodist Church or listen live here on my FB page 10:30 a.m. Sundays. (if you have your own church...stay there. If you don't have a home church, come find a home here!)
