This program is a rebroadcast from January 14, 2017. Last week Chris taught us how God relates to us through covenants, a promise initiated by God to a particular person or group of people.

This program is a rebroadcast from January 7, 2017. Today we will look at how our great God relates with His people, both past and present. The God of this universe, Maker of the heavens and earth, wants a relationship with us. First we look at the Trinity, the Father, the Holy Spirit, and Son; God is three distinct persons …
We hope you’ve had a very merry Christmas! Looking back on the first Christmas means looking back at the prophecy that foretold of Jesus’ fate hundreds of years earlier.
