FAMILY TIES – Context – Room 116
Context looks at verses we know by heart but may not know the people, places, and times that give them meaning. Josh Scott delves into well-known scripture verses, exploring their true meaning by examining them in their original biblical context. Through this process, he unveils fresh and enlightening interpretations that are often missed when these scriptures are taken out of context. PREVIEW

MEN’S AND AMAZING GRACES – Everywhere is Jerusalem – Room 109 and 110
James Howell takes you on a spiritual pilgrimage to significant places in the ongoing story of the Christian faith. You’ll go from Bethlehem to Jerusalem, from the Jordan River to Assisi, and from the Sea of Galilee to Montgomery, Alabama. Along the way, you’ll discover the profound connections between biblical stories and the places they happened. PREVIEW

Ties That Bind – Kings & Prophets: Eyewitness Bible Series – Parlor
The Old Testament prophets were real people who proclaimed important messages from God that have stayed true for thousands of years. The purpose of this series is to allow anybody to quickly gain a better understanding of the kings and prophets of Israel and their messages, as well as an appreciation of how that information is relevant today.
