Logos (Ancient Greek) Word, speech, utterance, message.
The revelation of God in the world.
The Word spoken at the beginning to bring all life into existence.
The Word revealed to Moses as God's people were delivered from oppression.
The Word Made Flesh, the fullness of God clothed in human skin.
The Word we are sent to proclaim, as light in darkness and life in death.
This year, through Fall Conference, you will experience how God speaks into the world through Scripture. God’s Word is the account of God’s real presence among us and has the power to bring life into our lives today. When God speaks, light breaks through darkness and life erupts from chaos.
Come encounter the Word with us.
