September 8 - October 27, 2024
5:00pm - 6:15pm
Adult Reception Hall Sundays, Room E-357 Tuesday am
Sundays@5 Church-Wide Study (September 8 – October 27) led by Dr. Douglass Key
Our focus will be Rick Lawrence’s book, Editing Jesus: Confronting the Distorted Faith of the American Church. Join us in the Adult Reception Hall (ARH) as we regroup for a new year of faith formation and fellowship. A repeat of Sunday’s pm class will be held on Tuesday mornings at 10:30 a.m., in Room E-357 (Education Building) beginning September 10- through October 29.
“Editing Jesus: Confronting the Distorted Faith of the American Church asks us sincerely and honestly, to confront the ways in which we have edited Jesus for our own benefit. We see Jesus, Lawrence claims, ‘through the tinted lens of our therapeutic priorities- tacitly demanding that He mold Himself to our expectations, neediness and existing belief systems.’- Through this study, we will encounter Jesus, the real Jesus, the Jesus that confronts our self-centeredness and intends to remake us. And in the process, we will rediscover the goodness and mercy of Jesus all over again and emerge with examined faith that is more robust and resilient than when we started. ” –
