HopeKids Sermon Series
All About the Bible
Summer may be winding down, but things are just winding up here at Hope as we kick off a brand new Back to School sermon series called “All About the Bible.” During this series we will dive into four important questions pertaining to the Bible: How Can We Make Sense of the Bible & Is It Reliable? Does the Old Testament Still Matter? What’s Wrong with Reading the Bible Wrong? How Can I Find My Place in God’s Story? Invite your friends, bring a Bible, and we will see you at worship!
