Between the Cross and Resurrection: Reflections on Jesus’ Death and Our Own.
by Joshua Chestnut
March 13, 2020
This lecture will be an exploration of the theology of Holy Saturday. Taking what the Apostle’s Creed refers to as Jesus’ “descent to the dead” as our starting place, this lecture will consider what it means that Jesus was dead as well as what this might mean for us as we consider the inevitability of our own death.

Violence in the Bible from Joshua to Jesus (Part 2 of 2): Jesus and the Cross
by Dave Friedrich
March 6
What are we to make of the similarities and significant differences between Joshua and Jesus, especially as it relates to the role of violence in the Promised Land? That will be the guiding question of this lecture as we look at how Jesus ‘conquers’ in the gospels and the book of Revelation.

Violence in the Bible from Joshua to Jesus (Part 1 of 2): Joshua and the Conquest
by Dave Friedrich
Feb 28, 2020
How are we to understand the violence we encounter in the Bible within the broader culture and context of Scripture? That will be our guiding question as we look at Joshua’s Conquest in Canaan and address further questions surrounding genocide, the inspiration of Scripture and the goodness of God.

The Vineyard and the Vine: Reflections on the Biblical Theme of Wine Making
By Ben Keyes
Feb 21
In ancient Israel vines, vineyards, grapes and wine making were a part of every day life and good wine was considered a sign of God’s blessing. The cultivation of grape vines also provides a rich source of metaphorical imagery throughout the bible. This lecture will attempt to follow the thread of vine imagery throughout scripture to see what is communicated about God and his saving relationship to his people.

In the Garden of Delight: Reading the Song of Songs for a Broken World
by Joshua Chestnut
Feb 1, 2020
What was once the most popular and most commented-on book in all of the scriptures, the Song of Songs (or sometimes called the Song of Solomon) plays little role in shaping contemporary imaginations about what it means to be human. Often assumed to be simplistic love songs, these ancient Hebrew love poems hold beautiful and timely wisdom on the goodness of human love, the problematic dynamics of abused power, the significance of place as well as the delight of life with God.

by Dick Keyes
Jan 31, 2020
Political Polarization threatens to cripple our government. There seem to be few solutions on offer, but could Christian people willing to stand under the whole counsel of God make a difference?

‘For Your Name’s Sake’: Living for the Reputation of God
by Ben Keyes
Feb 7, 2020
The biblical writers often tell us that God acts in the world ‘for the sake of his name.’ Biblical characters sometimes plead with God to intervene ‘for His name’s sake.” What does it mean that God defends his reputation to people? What difference would it make to pray with the glory of God’s name in mind?

“It was meant to be good”: Becoming More Human in the Kitchen and Around the Table
by Sarah Chestnut
Jan 24, 2020
What does good food mean? What makes food good? Can learning to cook- or even just hanging around the kitchen- make us more human? Is eating a spiritual act? In an age of individualized diets that can become their own religions, is there hope for “family style” eating and true hospitality? Does what and how we eat really matter? With these questions and many more in mind, we will explore the significance of cooking and eating for the recovery of our true humanity.

Caring for Creation V: Dappled, Strange, & Glorious: What Can Variety and Abundance Reveal?
by Anna Friedrich
Jan 17, 2020
This lecture is part of our ongoing series on the goodness of creation and our unique role as humans to explore, care for, protect, and delight in it. We will look at two things revealed in what we see around us and what we read in the Bible — Variety and Abundance. What can these two teach us about who God is and who we are?
