Journeys of Faith
What can we learn from the journeys of faith that we see in the bible? How does God call us to move physically, emotionally and spiritually? And what can we learn from those whose stories we hear in scripture?

Journeys of Faith: Road to Emmaus
1 John 3: 1-7

Journeys of Faith: Moses
Exodus 14: 10-31

Journeys of Faith: Jonah
Jonah 2 and 3
