Campfire Stories Summer 2019 Series

Everybody loves a good story. It’s why we watch movies, read books, and sit around campfires in the summer with our kids telling stories. And it’s a big reason why the Bible (especially the Old Testament) is so interesting – because it’s filled with great stories. Stories of eternal significance. Stories that have the power to change us. Stories that point us to Jesus.

This summer, join us as we look at a different Old Testament Bible story each week and consider how these stories point us to Jesus.

That story being the story of Jesus and His redeeming work in the world?
