We've spent a lot of time together on this epic journey through the 66 books of the Bible!

Which detour will you remember most?

What is your favorite scripture verse you memorized?

Oh, and click here for a Root 66 "souvenir" - a collection of all 66 Table Talk sermon notes.

So, now what? It's  time to get out of the car, give those legs a good stretch, and begin a new and exciting journey, fully equipped with all that we've learned. 

This Sunday, Pastor Alex begins a study on the 7 Hebrew words for "worship." It is our prayer that through this study, our desire to abide in and praise Him who is worthy will grow!
