News from The Bridge April 27, 2010

This Sunday we begin a new sermon series, Ruth, A Story of Redemption. The events in the Book of Ruth took place over 3,000 years ago. Could a story that took place so long ago still have relevance for your life today? We think so. Suffering still happens today doesn’t it? Join us for four weeks looking at the amazing story of Ruth. Why? The sovereignty of God, the sexual nature of man, and the gospel never change.

  • May 2nd: Never Alone (A look at God’s hand in our suffering)
  • May 9th: Renewed Hope
  • May 16th: Risking it All
  • May 23rd: More than we could Imagine ( A look at God’s hand in our redemption)
See you Sunday!
