We’ve heard them before. The stories that shaped our faith, filled our children’s Bibles, and linger in our memory from Sunday school classrooms and sanctuary pews. They feel familiar, comfortable, even predictable.
Or so we think.
The Stories We Thought We Knew is an invitation to slow down and listen again. To notice what we may have missed along the way. A detail we skimmed past. A tension we ignored. A question we never thought to ask.
In this series, we return to well-known biblical stories with fresh eyes and open hearts. We look beneath the surface and around the edges, paying attention to the human moments, the silences, the surprises, and the grace that often shows up where we least expect it.
Because these stories were never meant to be flat or one-dimensional. They are layered, living stories, stories that still speak, still challenge, still invite us into deeper faith and fuller lives.
You may know how the story goes. But you might be surprised by what the story still has to say.

December 3-24, 2017 We all have our favorite Christmas movies, the ones we watch year after year - movies that bring friends and families together, that inspire us, and that make us laugh.

John Wesley, founder of Methodism, had three simple rules for the covenant groups and church he began. During this sermon series, we will look at these rules, learning what they meant to Wesley and what they mean to us today.
