THE TREE OF LIFE: GOD'S PROMISE OF SALVATION
led by Pastor French every Sunday at 10:45 a.m.

This special ten-week congregational study includes a sermon series, Sunday school lessons, adult Bible class lessons, and special books for all ages to enjoy at home. The Tree of Life examines God’s plan of salvation as it unfolds through the Old Testament and is fulfilled in the life, ministry, death, and resurrection of our Lord Jesus Christ. 

The first five weeks will focus on the Old Testament, while the last five weeks will feature lessons in the New Testament. We will begin with creation and the fall into sin, which brought all the evils we experience into this world. Then we will look at the unfolding of God’s promise to send His Son with lessons on Abraham, Moses, King David, and Daniel. Lastly, we will focus on Jesus’s coming as our Savior. We will look at His birth, Baptism, ministry, crucifixion, resurrection, and His promise to return on the Last Day to judge the living and the dead. By the end of these ten weeks, you will be refreshed with the Bible’s overarching theme and storyline, equipped with the tools for unlocking the full riches of each page of Holy Scripture.

FAITH THAT SEES THROUGH THE CULTURE
led by Pastor French every Sunday morning starting August 21

God’s Word is filled with paradoxes. It’s tempting to see these paradoxes as either-or statements—one must be true and the other must be false. End of story. Case closed. But the paradoxes in the Word of God are different. They are both-and statements, at once seeming contradictory but both being wholly and completely true. As Christians, we live in this tension, embracing that two sides of the same coin can be true at the same time. We live in what is visible and invisible. We have the old man and the new man. We speak to those offered both an inclusive and an exclusive Gospel. We are citizens of both church and state. We live in the now and the not yet. We speak a Word that is both Law and Gospel. Faith That Sees through the Culture provides lenses to evaluate and bring clarity to these paradoxes. These lenses, when focused, aligned, and coordinated, open whole new vistas for faith to see more clearly and be lived out more effectively in our culture.
