Week 8 - There's More to The Story!

Today we wrap up our initial 8 weeks of The Story and take a break for Advent, before returning to The Story in January!  And today is the wrap-up for the small book of Ruth.  Listen in and enjoy a couple more lessons to this important Bible story!

And since next week starts Advent, listen in to Carolyn Jennings' wonderful "Climb to the Top of the Highest Mountain."  I love this every time I hear it, and the Luther College Choir just does it so wonderfully well!

 Week 8 - Sunday Preview!

This week we're on Chapter 9 - the Faith of a Foreign Woman, and the book of Ruth - a wonderful little story that takes place during the dark period of the Judges.  It's a redemptive story, where in the midst of a mess, God was working.  Listen in to the video, and worship with us on Sunday, listen to There's More to The Story on Monday, and then we take a break for Advent from these blogs and will resume in January.  Here's the video:

And here's a song I love - It is Well.  Enjoy!

 Week 7 - There's More to The Story!

Today we look at Samson, who was the last of the Judges.  And in reality, he was really a bad guy.  Bad dude all the way around.  We often don't hear his bad side, but he was likely the worst Judge and God decided to do something else after the Judges because, well, they just weren't working!

Here's the thing about the video - actually it's in two parts because in the first part my battery ran out and I had to recharge it for the last 6 minutes!  So, listen to one, and then the other, and then to the song!

And here's a song that I think you'll like - it's Same God by Elevation Worship.  Use the song for a prayer, asking God to continue God's faithfulness with you!

We're back in The Story!  This week (week 7) we're looking at Chapter 8 of The Story with the period of the Judges - a deep, dark time for the people of Israel.  Listen in to hear how things get good, then go bad, then get good, and go bad, again and again.  So listen in:

And here's Josh Groban with an African Children's Choir - I think we all might need a pick up - and this should help!
