It always seems to happen — in our spiritual lives, in our relationships, and everywhere else. Just when we get a good sense of momentum, something happens, and we end up cycling right back to where we started.

Why does it work that way? Our ancestors in the faith experienced the same thing, and in this sermon we will try to learn from their experience.

This week we begin a new sermon series entitled “The Bible In Panorama.” We’ll travel from Creation to the Last Judgment in 8 weeks, exploring the major plot lines of the Bible. This Sunday we’ll explore the tragic stories embedded in the Genesis creation account, sometimes referred to as “the fall of humanity,” looking for clues to the meaning of life.
