Dr. Bernhardt's summer sermon series in 2019 took the form of a simulated First Century news broadcast that was attempting to understand the growing religious phenomena called Christianity. It featured first person accounts by some lesser known New Testament figures talking about life in their times. They reported on unfolding events in which they shared and voiced their observations about the Christian faith. With a little help from our imaginations we will be able to form an impression of what it was like to meet and experience life with the Apostle Paul. The series ran from July 7th. through August 4th.

Mostly Scripture - Mini Audio Meditations

Dr. Bob has created a series of mini mediations which are, in fact, mostly scripture. Listen to scripture as read from the Contemporary English Version. Dr. Bob precedes each passage with a very brief word of introduction and closes it with a one sentence prayer. The passage being read is also provided in print. This small collection of readings will continue to be augmented with additional selections. To access a list of this material simply select Mostly Scripture.
