Taste and See: God's Provision by Third Church, RVA
This week we’ll explore the original Passover narrative and what it means for this God to be present among us today.
This Sunday we’re starting a new summer sermon series called “Taste and See." We’ll be tracing the theme of food and feasting throughout the Bible. In each of biblical stores we’ll study, we’re looking at the different ways that God nourishes us. We’ll see that the meals God provides give us the opportunity to actually experience his goodness–to “taste and see” who He is, what kind of kingdom he is inaugurating here on earth, and to invite others to the table.
For this Sunday, we’ll be wrapping up our series “Our Resurrection Hope,” with a final sermon that focuses on our hope for all creation.
This Sunday we’ll be looking at how the resurrection provides hope for our labor, basically all the work we do on the earth with our bodies.
We continue to explore our resurrection hope this Sunday as learn about the hope of the resurrection for our relationships. We'll ask what hope the resurrection offers for our broken relationships. What does the resurrection mean for our fractured families and friendships? For our polarized society? For our divided church communities?
