What do you do with an ancient book that’s full of wisdom and confusion, clarity and contradictions, love and violence? The words from the Bible have been used by preachers, liberators, musicians, kings, and politicians to inspire and lead, but to also bring fear and oppression. Many have asked, and continue to ask, “Is this book sacred scripture or something else?” Questions, while often seen as doubt and disbelief, are where we think faith can begin.
Is there a Bible story that has struck you as strange or troubling, one that has perhaps stirred up questions and doubts?
Are there questions about the Bible you’ve been afraid to confront but would love to ask?
Have you felt drawn to Jesus but wondered how the rest of the Bible fits into a modern faith?
These are questions that we want to wrestle with and we are inviting you into the conversation. So, rather than ignore the hard questions about the Bible, we are leaning into them during this sermon series, because tension always has the potential to lead us all to a more authentic faith. The Bible isn’t simply a book to believe, it’s a gift and an invitation to explore.
