Intro to Joseph

Posted on February 25, 2018 by Clark Bunch

Jacob Loved Rachel

Posted on February 12, 2018 by Clark Bunch

I would not ordinarily interrupt a sermon series to do anything for Valentine’s Day. But last week in our current series we ended at Genesis 28. It just so happens (tongue in cheek) that Genesis 29 is about Jacob and … Continue reading →

God of the Boat

Posted on January 21, 2018 by Clark Bunch

God in the Garden

Epiphany is about discovery and celebrates finding something worth finding. It is the 12th day of Christmas and honors the wise men who came from afar, bringing gifts and worshiping the child Jesus.
