September 11: THE STORY OF JESUS
​​
Many people think the Bible is just a religious textbook, but what if it's the story that makes sense of everything? How should we read the Bible, and is it trustworthy?
SEPTEMBER 18: THE BEGINNING​
Something went wrong in God's good world, and we still feel the effects today. Is there hope for humanity, or are we a lost cause?
​
If God is all-good and all-powerful, then why is there evil in the world? This question has caused confusion and heartache for millennia.
​
We can't save ourselves by trying to work our way to God. Instead, God came down to us. Who is Jesus, and how is He the Savior that we need?
​​
Jesus is like a lion, conquering over sin and death. He's also like a lamb, covering over our shame with His sacrifice.
Jesus came to give you a future that's bigger than your past. Because Jesus rose, we also can be raised to new life.
OCTOBER 23: WALKING IN THE WAY
​
Following Jesus is more than just believing the right things about Him. It also means living by His teachings, and joining with others who are doing the same.
​
The Bible isn't just a bunch of rules, but it does have many commands and teachings. What is the purpose of these laws, and how do we discern right and wrong without judging others?
NOVEMBER 6: REST FOR THE RESTLESS
​
It can be hard to stay healthy in a culture of hurry. Sometimes we just need to stop. God has given us a wonderful way to reset the pace of our lives and recenter on Him. It's called Sabbath.

NOVEMBER 13: UNTIL WE WAKE​
​​​​
Death is a mystery and a fear for many people. For those in Jesus, death isn't the end of the story. It's just the end of a chapter.
CAPSTONE WEEKEND
Our series will end with two days of presentations that will conclude the 'Better Story' journey. Dinner will be provided at 6:00 PM before the Friday evening and Saturday evening meetings.

NOVEMBER 14: ALL THINGS NEW
​​
How does the story of Scripture end? Not on clouds with harps, but in a world made new. One day soon, evil will be no more and joy will flourish forever. (Spoiler alert: This is the best part of the story.)

NOVEMBER 15: I Am Coming Soon
10:00 AM
​
Jesus is coming back, and this changes how we live today. His return should fill us with hope and expectation.

NOVEMBER 15: You Are With me
11:15 AM
​
Hard times will come in life. Peace is not the absence of problems; it's the presence of Jesus.

NOVEMBER 15: Your Role in the Story
6:30 PM
​
If you belong to Jesus, you become part of His story. The Church is commissioned to give the world a taste of God's coming future.
