This Sunday we consider Genesis 26, a chapter where Isaac's life remarkably resembles that of his father. What lessons does this "sequel" teach us?

In Christ,

Pastor Jeremiah

Here are the songs we plan to sing together!

May the Peoples Praise You

 

Grace Greater than Our Sin

 

Glorious Day (Living He Loved Me)

 

He Will Hold Me Fast

 

O Church Arise (Arise, Shine)

Come Thou Almighty King

 

Lord I Need You

Whom Shall I Fear

Behold Our God

 

Come Ye Sinners Poor and Needy

Whate'er My God Ordains Is Right

 

Almost Home
