Small Group Sunday/Small Group Ministry
The small group implementation team has settled upon the way we will become “more fluent in the Word, the first language of faith.” The team has selected a foundational study from the Book of Faith initiative, Making Sense of Scripture. The author, David Lose, offers “high hopes and a warning” for this study.
“First, I hope that after reading this book you will understand enough about the Bible to help you penetrate through the years and cultures that separate us from it. I hope you will be absorbed by the Bible’s stories in a way that will touch and move you, and maybe even transform the way you look at yourself, the world, and God. Second, I hope that you will discover that you can bring both your mind and your heart to the enterprise of reading the Bible. I hope you will feel free to think, wonder, question, and even express doubt as we discuss issues and explore the claims the Bible makes. And I hope and pray that through all the thinking, wondering, questioning, and doubting, you might also find the capacity to hear God speaking a word to you.
I should offer you a warning, not unlike those offered by the Surgeon General: reading the Bible can be hazardous, not only to your health, but also to your wealth, reputation, and even your very life. Seriously. Over the centuries people who have read the Bible have been led to do things beyond their imaginations. Examples are too numerous and wide-ranging to name in detail, but a few possibilities come immediately to mind: -making peace with someone who had formerly been an enemy; -giving away one’s wealth or security for the sake of another; -leaving the comforts of home to reach out to others; -changing careers to respond more fully to a sense of God’s call; -staying in one’s career to do the same; or –putting one’s reputation, and even life, on the line by taking a stand for justice.”
Small Group Sunday is scheduled for September 19, 2010.
