The Missing Messiah

Trust, But Verify
Gary Walter | Room 230
Acts 17:11 describes the believers in Berea as “more noble” than other believers because they “examined the scriptures every day” to see if the message preached to them was true. So what scriptures were they searching, and what did they reveal? Let’s find out together.
David: A (Flawed!) Man After God's Own Heart
Stephen Darnielle | Rm 231
