Stories That Shape Us
This year’s Living the Message will be co-taught by multiple Mount Olivet pastors who will each share a biblical story that has shaped them over the course of their lives. These are among their favorite stories, but also more, as they are the stories that have shaped our pastors’ sense of who God is, what our lives as Christians can be like, and how we can view the world differently because of the biblical witness. Our pastors will open up these passages in a way that they hope will allow these same powerful stories to shape you as well, bolstering your faith, renewing your sense of God’s presence in your life, and inviting you to lives of greater meaning and purpose in light of God’s promises. Join us!
