The Red Thread - Part 1 Bill Koogle

Fellowship Dubai
About this episode

750,000 words. 1,189 chapters. 66 books. The Bible can seem at times to be a reference manual for life, but it's actually one complete story masterfully written throughout thousands of years to point humanity to the one true God who saves. We see a common theme of God at work for his glory and our good; a thread that ties stories together in an arc of epic intrigue. The thread is unbreakable, no matter how hopeless the situation may seem. Pastor Bill begins our Easter lead up series titled The Red Thread.
