The first in a 3 part series on, “What kind of a church are we anyway?”. In this message Noel Piepgrass works out of 2 Timothy 3:10-4:4 to discuss our value as a church for living lives obedient to the word of God. In it he discusses what the Bible is, why it’s divinity can be trusted, and how we plan to walk out this value at Exeter Valley Church.
In Matthew 13 Jesus gives a sermon using parables, short stories with a moral to them. In verses 10-17, we see Jesus quote a passage from the book of Isaiah which effectively communicates to the audience that his use of parables is the most impactful way to help his audience hear and see the mysteries of the Kingdom. In this message, Noel goes on to share his own story and invites the listener into the story God is writing over their own lives and over the life of Exeter Valley Church.
In this first message in our study of the book of Genesis, Noel points us to a God who created the entire world.
Noel updates us on where we are in the process of transition.
