The Bible is the story of God restoring his fallen creation through Jesus, our savior and king. In fact the central focus of the whole Bible is Jesus. In John 1, we see Jesus, the second person of the trinity, as the Word made flesh. As Jesus, fully God and fully man, becomes our savior as he is declared the Lamb of God and King of Israel.

Sermon Title:  The Great Pursuit Text: Various Passages Date: October 25, 2026 Speaker: Wilson Geisler Campus: Creekside Summary: 

God shows his sovereignty and faithfulness as he returns the Israelites from their captivity to the promised land. The covenants that God made with Abraham, Moses, and David will be kept. Even if Israel is unfaithful, God will remain faithful. During this time of return and rebuilding, God’s people will continue to struggle and hope as they wait for God’s future fulfillment.

How can God restore people whose hearts keep turning away from Him? God keeps His word, transforms hearts, and pardons sin, restoring His people for life with Him and for His glory.

The Law is good but not enough. In the Law given to Moses, God reveals his nature, creates the nation of Israel, and exposes our desperate need for a savior.

Christians enjoy their new relationship with God through Jesus Christ. We are also called to share this good news with others. Yet before we speak to people, we are to pray to God.
