LEARNING THE WORD

DISCIPLE 3 - REMEMBER WHO YOU ARE

Concentrates on the Old Testament prophets and the letters of Paul. The prophets and Paul are continually calling hearers and readers back to their God and to a sense of who they are as a people “set apart.” The prophets and the community cannot be separated. The prophets spoke for God, out of the community, and to the community. Paul’s experience of the risen Lord, his relationship to the community he addressed, his Jewish traditions, and the Greco-Roman culture of his day merged in his writing of the letters. Paul used the language of his culture to carry the message that arose out of his roots in the Hebrew Scriptures and Judaism. Class begins in January to cover the first half and the second half will begin in August.

It's an online small group! Each week, we will look at four scripture passages, and discuss them using an online group bulletin board approach.  A few questions for discussion related to the passages, and you can chime in at your convenience through the week.
