God Builds a Nation
Only God can fix the mess made by Adam and Eve’s sin, and he starts with a man named Abraham. God promises Abraham more descendants than he can count.

Wilderness Survival Guide
God stands by his people, even when they don’t stand by him. But there’s trouble ahead. The Hebrews are stuck in what feels like a God-forsaken wilderness. It’s no secret they’d rather be back in Egypt. Even when they have a chance to enter the Promised Land—their new home— they’d rather turn and run the other way. It’s going to be a long journey…
“The Greatest Story Ever Told” is more than just a cliché. God has gone to great lengths to rescue lost and hurting people. The Story is a condensed, chronological version of the Bible that reads like a novel, and makes God’s Word more accessible. For 31 weeks, Russell Howard together with the Richland Road Church of Christ will be going through this book from Genesis to Revelation, one chapter per week.
