ETHNOS: Loving Your Neighbor Well

Did you know you’re a part of a faith community with all kinds of diversity (i.e. geographic, linguistic, socioeconomic, cultural, gender, ethnic, familial, generational, country of origin, etc.)? Data from social scientists suggests that being around people who are different from you opens the door for your personal preferences and cultural norms to be challenged. When we’re challenged, we’re in a better position to grow in Christlikeness. The scriptures teach us that the greatest and most important commandment is to love God with all that we are (Matthew 22:34-38). Immediately following that, however, we’re told to love our neighbors (Matthew 22:38-40). The goal of this class is to foster healthy and helpful dialogue so that each of us can increase our cultural competency, grow in empathy, and develop tools for productive engagement.

The Link: Major Truths from the Minor Prophets (A Bible Study with Dwight Edwards)

The last 12 books of the Old Testament are often referred to as “the minor prophets.” Trust us, their message is anything but minor! Some of the most powerful truths of scripture are found in these often-overlooked gems.

Among the books we will study are . . . Hosea - the greatest love story never told; Habakkuk - how God moved this saint from worry to worship without changing his difficult circumstances; Haggai - the most relevant book of the Bible for today’s American church; and Zephaniah - how the frightening power of God’s wrath and the breath-taking power of God’s kindness are combined to transform lives.

Come join us Wednesday nights as we explore some of these neglected treasures.
