Esther: Who's to say?
31 Aug, 2026
Unlike most biblical books, Esther did not emerge from oral tradition; it was written to be read aloud. This fictional story follows an orphaned Jewish girl who becomes Queen of Persia and saves her people. With vivid characters, a fast-moving...
Jonah: No Boundaries on Love
25 Aug, 2026
Jonah is a book unlike any other book in the Bible. It’s a story about a prophet who does everything a prophet of God should NOT do. It is full of humor and irony and was clearly written to entertain its audience. This small book of only 48...
David & Goliath: Standing with the Living God
17 Aug, 2026
One of the things I have appreciated most about this summer series is the opportunity to refresh my memory on the history and evolution of the Jewish people and religion. This is like a sweeping saga where we flow through the generations, the...
Samson & Delilah: Losing & Finding Our Sacredness
10 Aug, 2026
This week we find ourselves once again in the Old Testament book of Judges. The entire book cycles through a pattern over and over again: The people “do evil” in the eyes of God (usually worshipping foreign gods) As punishment God lets the...
Deborah: A Song to Make Us Think
06 Aug, 2026
The book of Judges tells stories from a turbulent season in Israel’s early life, when the tribes were struggling for unity, safety, and freedom. These stories are not simple history lessons; they are ancient memories filled with poetry, myth,...
Jacob & Esau: The Struggle to be Blessed
27 Jul, 2026
This is our last week in the book of Genesis; the story of God’s promise now moves through Jacob and Esau, the twin grandsons of Abraham. Their story is messy from the beginning: rivalry, favoritism, manipulation, fear, and blessing all tangled...
Abraham & Isaac: A Question of Faith
20 Jul, 2026
By the fifth week of our Old Testament series, Going In-Depth with the OT Stories , we arrived at one of the most difficult passages in Genesis: the story of Abraham being asked to sacrifice Isaac. It is a story that can stop us in our tracks...
The Challenges & Lessons of Sodom & Gomorrah
14 Jul, 2026
As we continue our series on Going In-Depth with the Old Testament Stories, we come to the challenging and often misinterpreted story of Lot and the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah. There is much to unpack here, but I will do my best to be simple...
Laughter & Hope
22 Jun, 2026
Abraham and Sarah, the Father and Mother of nations. Let’s use our historical imagination to examine the promise of God to Abraham and Sarah by placing ourselves within the history, culture and religious context of their story so that we might...
God's Conundrum
15 Jun, 2026
In our discussions about Old Testament stories this summer take notice of how so many of them are connected genealogically. As we examine the story of Noah's ark this week, we recognize that Noah was a distant descendant of Seth, Adam and Eve’s...
