This series group contains every series that walks through a book of the Bible from beginning to end. Plus, there’s a bonus series at the beginning that covers some important truths about the Bible itself.
The Holy Bible
Just because it is the world’s greatest book doesn’t mean it is the easiest to understand. Join us for a four week journey into how to understand the Bible. Jeff will teach us how we got it, how to read it, and why it matters.

Back to the Start (Genesis)
Find your fresh start in the book of beginnings.

Fearless (Joshua)
To be honest, I’ve had my moments of fear. I usually use the word “worry” but that’s not really any better, and it’s more accurate to call it what it is: Fear.

...
Heroes (Judges)
What if I told you there was a group of people who together could conquer any enemy? What if I told you there was a group of people who together could turn any wrong around into blessing? What if I told you there was a group of people where every single one had the power […]

#wisdom (Proverbs)
Now more than ever, we live in a society where passion gets to drive, knowledge rides shotgun, and wisdom is forced to sit in the back if it’s even allowed in the car. We can’t continue to live that way. It’s time to get back to what’s important.

#fakenews (Proverbs)
Recently, our society has been flooded with concerns about “Fake News.” Our President is accusing previously trusted media outlets of spouting “fake news.” Our media outlets are fighting against the social media “fake news.” And the FBI is doing research into “fake news” injected into our lives through the efforts of foreign governments! On April […]

Into the Fire (Daniel)
On any given day, people who try to do the right thing face difficulty and opposition. Sometimes it’s subtle. Sometimes it’s overt. Sometimes the hardship even comes from within us.

Here Is Our King (Matthew)
The rule of the schoolyard tells us that you always want to be on the team with the strongest player… even if it’s a bully. It’s our greatest temptation, if we can’t be the strongest, to be on the same team as the strongest. We choose leaders who seem powerful because they make us feel […]
...
Great News (Mark)
Only about 20 years after Jesus’ ministry on earth, a man named Mark became convinced that it was time to write out the story of Jesus so that everyone would know it as well as he did. He likely was present for many of the events he records even though he wasn’t an eyewitness to […]
...
Real Proof (John)
Can you see it? You have to look hard to find the real proof! The problem with faith is that we aren’t wired up to naturally believe in what we can’t experience. Everything about us tells us that we need to have something touch our senses in order for us to know it and believe […]

Get It Together (1 Corinthians)
What’s cool about studying 1 Corinthians is that it’s a bunch of people far more messed up than we are! It’s a church with more problems than ours!

He is shocked that people […]

Deep (Colossians)

Losing My Religion (Revelation Part 1)
I’m not very fond of religion… and neither was Jesus. Religion is about the actions, emotions, and knowledge required to reach some spiritual goal. But it’s too easy for us to get into the actions and the emotions and the knowledge as if those things are ends in themselves. It’s too easy for us to […]
...
Uncovered (Revelation Part 2)
The book of Revelation is without question the most fascinating & frustrating book in the Bible.
