Tell Me Strange Things...Come over on Sundays as we face the hardest sayings in the Bible - Sunday, June 30, 2024 Have you ever wondered about the seemingly strange and outdated rules found in the Bible? Rules about fabrics, hairstyles, and more can leave us scratching our heads, wondering why they're even there. It's easy to dismiss them as irrelevant or even absurd, but there's more to these ancient laws than meets the eye. Join us this week as we unpack the context behind these Old Testament regulations and discover the wisdom they hold for us today. Rather than dismissing them outright, together let's uncover the deeper meanings behind these seemingly trivial rules and explore what it means to engage with Scripture in a thoughtful and meaningful way.
Celebrant:
Readings: Leviticus 19:1-2, 11-15, 19, 27, 37; Matthew 5:38-48 (Read now)
Hymns: Behold Him (Listen now) Come Thou Fount (Listen now) In Tenderness (Listen now) Great is Thy Faithfulness (Listen now) Tethered to the Cross (Listen now)
To keep up to date with the new songs we're singing this year, listen to them on our church worship playlist here. For more infomation visit: http://stgeorgesinthepines.com/events/tell-me-strange-things/2024-06-30

God The Genocide: The Conquest of CanaanTell Me Strange Things... - Sunday, June 23, 2024 The passage from Leviticus recounts the judgement on the Canaanites, a narrative that challenges our understanding of God's character and actions. How do we reconcile this depiction of God with the teachings of Jesus, who urges us not to judge and to live by the golden rule? Don't miss the most recent message as we examine this challenging narrative, exploring its deeper themes of evil, brokenness and healing found in the profound love of Jesus Christ.

WHAT WE'RE READING, LISTENING TO, AND WATCHINGEdifying content that has deeply informed our work this season! - In Offense of Church is a powerful sermon by Pastor Kevin Makins connecting the effects of social media, our allegiance to technology that undermines our humanity, and the truth found in Jesus. - How Liberals Talk About Children The New Yorker critiques certain left-leaning progressives' views on children in a review by Jay Caspian Kang of Anastasia Berg and Rachel Wiseman's book, "What Are Children For?"— it's a great read that encourages reflection no matter your political stance. (also linking a helpful review at CT) - Our New Religion Isn't Enough This article explores how modern secular beliefs might fall short of the depth and fulfillment that traditional religious practices offer—definitely worth a read if you're curious about the role of spirituality in today's world! - The Justification of the Godforsaken by Jürgen Moltmann explores the complex issue of how to reconcile the suffering of victims with the forgiveness of sinners, proposing a justice system that prioritizes healing for victims rather than focusing only on perpetrators. - Performance-enhancing vices is a provocative article by Sabrina Little exploring how traits often seen as negative, like selfishness and pride, might help athletes perform better, but these "performance-enhancing vices" could negatively impact their moral character and personal relationships. - Making Sense of God by Tim Keller presents a compelling case for belief in Christianity, addressing the doubts and questions of skeptics by exploring how faith provides meaning, satisfaction, identity, justice, and hope. Definitely check it out! |
