Our mission is telling Bible stories in a relevant way. While many have provided deep and profound interpretations of the scriptures, we try to cut to the chase. How can the Bible help us? With a little effort, we will discover that the Bible is God’s story with the power to transform our story.

God’s ways are often mysterious to us, but grace is always woven through them. Jacob was far from perfect, but God still chose him and gave him the name “Israel.” Through his imperfect descendants God would restore His world. His gracious ways with Jacob therefore inspire us with hope that He will also use us to continue this work.
When God sent His Son into the world, He intended for things to change. For thousands of years, He had promised change, and now He was delivering. Not surprisingly some resisted, but His Spirit still worked, and is still working to change all of us, even when this change is uncomfortable.
Centuries ago, when suffering and injustice plagued a nation, a bold prophet confronted God about his ways. What were his complaints and how did God respond? Telling this Bible story provides a perspective that will help us discern God’s will in our own troubled times.

How do we know that the Bible is God’s Word?
