Garden to the Garden City

The Bible is a story that takes us from a garden to a garden city. For our next series we will tackle one book from the Bible each week.

What is each book's main message? How does it fit in to the bigger story? How does each book help tell the story of God's amazing rescue plan?

Join us to find out.
