Sermon Series – Wisdom and Promise
Old Testament Words for Today
Even the title “OLD” may discourage us from thinking that there are important and current teachings that we can embrace. The books of the Old Testament give us history, story, teaching’s that are full of insight, valuable revelations about who God is, and what God is about then and today.

Six weeks of short readings and guided reflection will enrich your celebration of Advent, Christmas, and Epiphany. You will be filled with joy and thanksgiving as you think about scripture passages from the perspectives of the Holy Spirit, John the Baptist, Mary, the shepherds, the Magi, and Jesus himself.
