Have you ever tried to read Genesis, only to stop, frustrated, when you arrived at the first genealogy? Then take this opportunity to enjoy -- perhaps for the first time -- the sweeping saga of Genesis, the book of beginnings and blessings, as taught by Keith to the congregation at Emmanuel Bible Fellowship. From the origin of the universe, and the creation and fall of man . . . to the origin of the Hebrew Nation, and the stories of Abraham, Issaac, Jacob and Joseph, Genesis spans over 2400 years of human history. So much more than a history book, Genesis portrays the great fathers of our faith in all their stark humanity, and shows how God turned even their most heinous sins to His own glory, and redeemed them -- and us -- from the pit. Keith keeps the pace of Genesis brisk in this series, but leaves no stone unturned as he visits every chapter and verse with his in-depth teaching style. This series is sure to change your opinion of the book of Genesis, as it challenges and encourages you in ways you've probably never expected.
The book of Ecclesiastes can seem overwhelming and even depressing at first read. Can life really be worth living? What purpose is there in life? Keith tackles Ecclesiastes with his trademark mix of humor and rock-solid truth, showing us how King Solomon has lived and learned throughout his lifetime, and come to the conclusion that the only way to live life "under the sun" is to live life "in the Son". You'll never read Ecclesiastes the same way again, once your eyes are opened to the beautiful nuggets of hope and encouragement it contains for living the daily grind with your eyes on Jesus and your heart on eternity.
This sermon series addresses who Christ is and what He has done for us. It is a profound series addressing the basic tenets of our faith with personal and life-changing application. Keith walks us through the gospels answering questions such as: "Who is Jesus to you? What did Jesus teach? What did Jesus do? Why did Jesus have to die? What is the relevance of the resurrection?" The impact of what Jesus accomplished on the cross and the personal challenge to accept His forgiveness, become disciples, and in turn, disciple others is a clear message throughout this series.
The purpose of the book of Romans is to reveal God's sovereign plan of salvation and to establish believers in their faith.

This sermon series ensures that we are grounded in the basic teachings of the Bible, and challenges the believer and the church to grow in spiritual maturity.
The book of James encourages believers to face trials with faith and perseverance. This sermon series shows how God uses trials to accomplish His purpose in our lives.
