Jesus on Every Page: Look for the Thread Sermon Series Sept. 8-Nov. 24 There are lots of stories in the Bible, but all the stories are telling one big Story: the Story of how God loves his children and comes to rescue them. (Jesus Storybook Bible, pg. 17) Our fall sermon series takes us into the Old Testament stories starting creation of the world through the exodus from Egypt. Look at the platform cross; notice the red fabric encircling it, flowing down into God s Word. Look at the side banners and the scarlet thread weaving through them. Notice the sermon series image and the scarlet cord that weaves its way through it. Every Old Testament story points to the need for a savior, a deliverer. This deliverer is Jesus and the scarlet thread represents the shedding of his blood, tying the Old Testament to the New Testament. Salvation is found in no one else, for there is no other name given under heaven by which we must be saved. (Acts 4:12) Our Mission We are called by God the Father and empowered by the Holy Spirit to be transformed by Christ for: Reaching Up! Reaching In! Reaching Across! Reaching Out! Glorifying God through lives of prayer and worship Growing Spiritually through Biblical learning and caring relationships Reconciling in Christ for multicultural living and leading Going near and far to share Christ s love in actions and words Madison Campus Connections Web: Weekly s: sign up on our website Staff firstinitiallastname@madisonsquarechurch.org Phone: Office hours: 9:30 am-5 pm Mon-Fri 1434 Madison Ave. SE Bulletin: Read your campus news online or on paper Find us on social media by searching Madison Square Church Welcome!
