Through the Bible Sermon Series
For the past 2 years, Pastor Allen has been systematically going through the entire Bible on a chronological basis, as part of a 6 year plan to cover the entire Bible on Sunday mornings.
As of this posting, we’ve covered the Pentateuch, Joshua, Judges, Ruth, 1 & 2 Samuel, 1 & 2 Kings, Joel, Jonah, Amos, Hosea, Micah, and Isaiah, and Jeremiah.
We are now taking a brief (10 week) break in this Series to bring an Expository Series in Ephesians, where we will proceed chapter by chapter and verse by verse.
Trip to Israel and Vienna
In the summer of 2006, 10 of us went to Israel for 10 days, and to Vienna for an additional three days. This was our own private tour, led by the Pastor, so we saw more than the usual number of sites including:
Tel Aviv, Joppa, Caesarea-by-the-sea, Mt. Carmel, Megiddo, Mt. Tabor, Sea of Galilee, Tiberias, site of the Sermon on the Mount, Capernaum, Kiryat Shemona, the Golan Heights, Caesarea Philippi, Jericho, Bethlehem, Bethany, the Mount of Olives, the Herodium, En Gendi, the Dead Sea, Masada, Qumran, Valley of Elah, Lachish, and, of course, the old city of Jerusalem. We had great food and great accommodations.
Additionally, we swam in the Mediterranean, the Sea of Galilee, and in the Dead Sea. We toured the awesome Holocaust Museum, and saw the sights of New Jerusalem, rode a camel, walked the ramparts of the walls of Old Jerusalem, among other things.
In Vienna, we walked about the beautiful city and took in a Strauss concert in the very hall where he once played. We toured two magnificent palaces there, as well.
