Covering over thousands of years of history, there are over 66 books in the Holy Bible – 39 in the Old Testament and 27 in the New Testament. The Bible stories have mentioned hundreds of names, some in detail and others just in passing. We often focus on the popular names and forget those obscure bible characters. This series focuses on an encounter with Abigail, Ittai, Queen Vashti, and Korah.Â
Join us this August to learn valuable lessons that we can use to enhance our spiritual journey and experience real growth.Â

Sermon Topic: Korah Syndrome Â
Speaker: Elder Trisan Hyatt
Key Text: Numbers 16:19-30
Summary: Korah had leadership aspirations. He felt that Moses was not the only voice that could speak for God. So he raised up a mob to oppose Moses.
