BIG Idea

“A Redeemer who was fully God and fully human was needed to reconcile man to God.” 

Weekly Bible Passage and Monthly Memory Verse

Passage: Isaiah 9:1-7

Monthly Memory Verse: “5 For there is one God, and there is one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus, 6 who gave himself as a ransom for all, which is the testimony given at the proper time. 7 For this I was appointed a preacher and an apostle (I am telling the truth, I am not lying), a teacher of the Gentiles in faith and truth.” (1 Timothy 2:5-7)
