Origin Story
The Saga Begins in Genesis
Starting on Wednesday, June, 6:30pm – 8:00pm
LOCATION: SOUTH Building (Youth)
Sometimes our lives play out like a captivating story capped with a problematic climax; and the reality is that this is true. Our sin has been the overarching issue with all of humanity.
Enter, Jesus
For all eternity, He has had a plan to fix our sin problem and bring himself maximum glory. The entirety of the Bible points to Jesus being the Messiah; The Chosen One.
Join us as we take a look at the major themes and characters in Genesis and how even at the beginning of creation, everything points to Jesus being our Savior.
