You may be in a meeting, at dinner, or on the golf course. No matter when or where you hear the familiar "ding" of your cell phone, a text message always gets your attention. You feel compelled to pull the phone out of your pocket and read it. But what if God sent you a text message?

In this 3-part series, Pastor Hawley says that “God has, in fact, sent you a message--it's called the Bible.” In this amazing collection of writings, you find poetry, prophecy, biography, war, sex, and betrayal. And most importantly, you find the story of a loving Father who goes to incredible lengths to redeem his children.
