We finish our fourth installment of The Word in Song with “Turn, Turn, Turn.” What are the times that we experience in our lives? Where is God during the good and the bad? How do we know what it is we need to do? Do we know how to respond in every situation? Find inspiration anywhere and everywhere, and hear the Word in song!

Our scripture reading comes from Ecclesiastes 3:1-15.

Our musical inspiration comes from “Turn, Turn, Turn” by The Byrds.

Our latest series is The Gospels and the last message in our series is “John.” Each week we will explore a different Gospel account. This week we look at what sets John apart. What was John’s purpose in writing? His focus? Who was John? Do we know? See how the Gospels can be opened when you take each one and let the author speak to their own experience with Jesus Christ with their own voice standing alone.

“Reading the Word” is a stand alone message about how we read scripture. What is scripture? Does the Bible itself tell us which books are scripture? How should we read the Bible? Is it history? Poetry? Or something more?

Our scripture readings come from Joshua 1:7-9 and 2 Timothy 3:14-17.
