I know that's what it says, but that's not what it means! - 1.1.17-2.26.17

The Bible is a complicated book, written over hundreds of years in various context and diverse circumstances. And then, it is read 2,000 years later in a world and culture the Biblical writers could not have imagined. Given all of that, it’s easy to misunderstand the Bible. When it is misunderstood the good news can often sound like bad news for some folks. When it is misunderstood it can often make the Bible more difficult to trust. In this sermon series, we will take just a few passages that have often been confusing and see if there is a life-giving word for us.
​
Jan. 1 The Story of the Bible from Genesis to Revelation
Jan. 8 “Women Keep Silent?” This Doesn’t Sound Like Good News
Jan. 15 Family Matters and the Cost of Following Jesus
Jan. 22 “Divorce” – Why the Church has Read This Text to the Wrong People
Jan. 29 “Is There a Devil?”​
Feb. 5 “Jesus is the Only Way to Salvation.” This is Not About You. This is About God.
Feb. 12 “Be Perfect as Your Heavenly Father is Perfect.” Intimidated yet?
Feb. 19 The Only Safe Place for Hatred
Feb. 26 Pray Without Ceasing
