How Not To Read The Bible - Week 1
Often, during the Christmas Season, we are surrounded by those we love the most. And there’s something beautiful about that. But. If love is the highest Christian ethic, and loving everyone is the way that CHrist loved, then that’s a good deal more difficult. Jay Kim speaks about two ends of the spectrum of people who are challenging to love: one because it’s easy to forget about them (namely, the global poor and those in need) and the other because we don’t WANT to love them (our enemies).
We love the nice parts of the Bible, the verses we put on coffee mugs and hang on inspirational posters in our offices. The problem is, there are plenty of verses that aren’t so nice. This is leading to confusion, doubt, and loss of faith for many. So what do we do with that? In the opening week of our new sermon series How (Not) To Read the Bible, we dive into what the Bible is, and what it is, and how some pretty simple basic rules of reading can save you a world of confusion.
