Windows on the Soul

Windows on the Soul 

Sunday Series

The Parables of Jesus and the Psalms of David are both windows on the soul. Through the window of the Parables we see the heart of God graciously reaching down to humanity. Through the window of the Psalms we see the heart of humanity struggling to reach up to God. Both are filled with powerful images, honest emotion and clear instruction.

If you want to look through God’s window, then join us on Sunday mornings as we think through the parables and on Sunday evenings as we reflect on the Psalms.

Romans: The Story of Grace

Sunday Morning Series
March – April – May – June

The message of Jesus has power. It has the power to save lives, shape hearts, and change the world. Reading and studying Paul’s letter to Rome taps this power because it presents us with a Christian Manifesto. It transforms our thinking and convicts our hearts with the fullest and clearest statement of the gospel in the New Testament.
