Chapter 22

September 18, 2022 • Pastor Joe Sullivan • Matthew 1—2, Luke 1—2, John 1

The Old Testament often stressed that God set Israel apart to be holy; they were not to intermarry with other nations. Then the promised King of the Jews arrives with anything but a pure family tree! Accompanying reading: Matthew 1-2 Luke 1-2 John 1 The Story, Chapter 22

Chapter 23

September 25, 2022 • Pastor Joe Sullivan • Matthew 3—11, Mark 1—3, Luke 8, John 1—4

For much of the Bible, the stress was upon going to, staying in, and returning to the promised land--all because God promised His people He would make them a nation. Then Jesus shows up and priorities seem to have changed. Accompanying reading: Matthew 3-4; 11 Mark 1-3 Luke 8 John 1-4 The Story, Chapter 23

Chapter 24

October 2, 2022 • Pastor Joe Sullivan • Matthew 5—14, Mark 4—6, Luke 10—15, John 6

What if God were one of us: not a stranger on the bus, not tryin’ to make His way home, and not a holy rolling stone! What does it mean that Jesus was God (and man)? Accompanying reading: Matthew 5-7; 9; 14 Mark 4-6 Luke 10; 15 John 6 The Story, Chapter 24
