When?
Last year we took a trip through the book of Ecclesiastes with our ever honest, sometimes cryptic guide, "The Teacher." Chapter 3 began with the words, "There is a time for everything..." This week our investigation of the Christian Scriptures leads us to ask the question, "When?" In earthly terms, the seconds, minutes, hours and days of our lives are a finite resource of unknown duration. How might scripture, and the message of Kingdom and Gospel that it brings us, inform and redeem our concept of time? Don't be late!
From Series: "Interrogating the Bible"
Most followers of Jesus understand that the book that we call The Holy Bible is an important and central feature of our faith. Jesus quoted from the Old Testament, the church throughout history has looked to the scriptures to guide its faith and practice, and many of us can testify to the power and wisdom of its contents. However, a great many of us find this book to be a bit of a mystery, and in a culture that is increasingly dismissive of these ancient texts, it is perhaps easier to leave the Word of God to the experts. Over the next eight weeks we will explore by means of a series of honest questions, this collection of letters, poetry, songs, history, gospel and apocalypse that is God’s revelation given to us to reveal his profound love for all that he has made.
