Weekday Evening Book Discussions
Chosen? The Bible & the Israel-Palestinian Conflict
Tuesday, August 20 at 7 pm
Walter Brueggemann explores the situation in modern-day Israel that raises questions for many Christians who are easily confused when reading biblical accounts of God’s saving actions with the Israelites. Are modern Israeli citizens the descendants of the Israelites in the Bible whom God called chosen? Was the promise of land to Moses permanent and irrevocable? What about others living in the promised land? How should we read the Bible in light of the modern situation? Who are the Zionists, and what do they say?
Pastor David will lead this single-evening book discussion.
Jesus and John Wayne: How White Evangelicals Corrupted a Faith and Fractured a Nation
Tuesday, October 22 at 7 pm
Byron Borger says. “[Kriten Kobes Du Mez’s] Jesus and John Wayne is a must read for any who care about the integrity of the gospel and the direction of evangelical faith in these days. Understanding the catalyzing role militant Christian masculinity has played over the past half century is critical to understanding American evangelicalism today, and the nation’s fractured political landscape. Appreciating how this ideology developed over time is also essential for those who wish to dismantle it.”

I appeal to you therefore, brothers and sisters, by the mercies of God, to present your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and acceptable to God, which is your spiritual worship. Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your minds, so that you may discern what is the will of God—what is good and acceptable and perfect. —Romans 12:1-2
