Sermon offered by Fr. David Bumsted, Rector

A new class at St. John’s this spring! Dr. Bill Lyons will begin a new Adult Education course on the Old Testament—the Bible that Jesus read. More than an occasional passage read on Sunday mornings, this ancient component of our Bibles forms the foundation of the New Testament and is well-worth a focused study with your friends at church. In this class we go over canonization and how we got to the Old Testament we have now.

Sermon offered by Fr. David Bumsted, Rector

The first 75% of the Bible is a story about the Hebrew people longing for a hero and striving for the good life. Filled with compelling characters, plot cliffhangers, and timeless themes, this collection of books is the greatest literature of an entire civilization produced over a millennium. Matthew Delaney (M.A. Biblical Languages) is passionate about engaging people with the story of the Hebrew Bible so that they will walk away with clarity and inspiration to live out the perennial message of the Bible that leads to Jesus. In this third and final part, we discuss the Writings section of the Old Testament.
