The Benefits and Limitations of Archaeology
Dr. Michael Grisanti
For ask now of the days that are past, which were before you, since the day that God created man on the earth, and ask from one end of heaven to the other, whether such a great thing as this has ever happened or was ever heard of. Did any people ever hear the voice of a god speaking out of the midst of the fire, as you have heard, and still live? Or has any god ever attempted to go and take a nation for himself from the midst of another nation, by trials, by signs, by wonders, and by war, by a mighty hand and an outstretched arm, and by great deeds of terror, all of which the Lord your God did for you in Egypt before your eyes? To you it was shown, that you might know that the Lord is God; there is no other besides him.
Deuteronomy 4:32-35

SABBATICAL ANNOUNCEMENT: Pastor Jeff has a long history of faithful service to the Lord and our congregation. After serving as a Global Partner for many years overseas, he has served on staff since 2007, most recently as our Senior Associate Pastor. We are honored and blessed to be able to allow him a three-month sabbatical beginning in February, in accordance with our sabbatical policy for Pastors. Pastor Jeff will use this time to rest and refresh – spiritually and physically; prepare for future equipping of the body in the Great Commission and Global Ministries; and make in-person visits with Global Partners and organizations. When Jeff returns from sabbatical in May, he will take on a part-time role as Associate Pastor of Global Ministries, allowing him to focus on our Global Partners and our ministries to the ends of the earth. During this time, please keep Pastor Jeff and Linda in your prayers, asking the Lord to continue to work in and through them.

Tuesday Women’s Bible Studies resume February 6 and we are so excited! There is a great need for helpers in the Children’s Ministry those mornings. If you are able to help in any capacity - weekly or as a fill-in - or if you have questions about what our Tuesday mornings look like with the children, please contact Jenna Yetman.
