A Tree Without Roots: How Can We Reconnect Contemporary Virtue With Christian Belief?
Ben Keyes
Contemporary psychologists say that it is good for us to forgive, to give thanks and to seek humility. These traditionally Christian ways of life are being recognized as important aspects of human thriving but without any connection to biblical belief. How long can the secular appreciation of Christian virtue last without Christianity. In what ways could this trend be an opportunity to communicate Christian Truth?

March 1 What does God mean by his promise, "I will be with you"?
Dick Keyes
Some say that the best place to hide is in plain sight. “They’ll never think of looking here!” Sometimes this is the sad fate of Biblical truths which are so familiar to us that their life and importance is hidden simply by their familiarity. God’s amazing promise, “I will be with you” may have suffered this fate. It appears explicitly many times in the Bible and many more times implicitly or as an assumption. But what does it actually mean to us in our daily lives which range from triumph to tragedy with lots of routine in between?

Feb 15 Sight for the Blind: A Study on the Significance of Eyes in the Biblical Story
Anna Friedrich
From the “pleasing to the eye” fruit of Genesis 3 to the four living creatures in Revelation “covered with eyes all around,” the Bible is full of references to sight. God’s sight and human sight seem to compliment and challenge each other. What does it mean for God to see us, or for us to “fix our eyes on Jesus”? We’ll explore these questions among others in a broad stroke “look” at sight through the Bible.

Feb 8 - Caring for Creation Part III: Our Relationship to Farmed and Domesticated Animals
Ben Keyes
What does the bible say about raising animals for food? How can we apply God’s word to our contemporary food system that relies so heavily on intensive factory farming? Should we all be vegetarians as many Christians argue, or are we entitled to rely on animals for food? Is this even a question that should concern Christians?

Feb 1- Revolution or Recession? Sex in Pre- and Post-Christian Cultures -
Joshua Chestnut
One might assume that in a culture as tolerant and progressive as our own that these would be booming times for sex, yet a growing body of research seems to point in the opposite direction that more and more people are in fact retreating from physical intimacy. In this lecture will not only consider the sexual landscape of our current post-Christian culture, but reconsider the surprising distinctives of Christian sexual ethics as they emerged in the Pre-Christian world and how it revolutionized human sexuality.

- The Gift of Grace: No Strings Attached or Call and Response?
Dave Friedrich
This lecture considers the research of New Testament scholar John Barclay in his book, Paul and the Gift (2015), that challenges the definition of Divine grace as a gift with no strings attached and helps us see the gift of grace in Galatians and Romans as both divine call and human response. (This is the second lecture in a two part series, but also stands alone. Part one is, The Last Laugh)

The Changing Relationship of Young People to Work
From the birth of our nation, the relationship of young people to work has varied according to geography, gender, ethnicity, class, race and religion. But it is a fair to say that in general, young people (children and teenagers) used to be economic assets to their families. For many, young peoples’ work was (and in some cases still is) necessary for family survival. Today, many couples consider children a “luxury” they cannot afford. We will consider some of the consequences of “modern childhood” that emerged with the middle class in the 19th century – a childhood free from labor, dedicated to age-graded schooling and separated from casual (non-professional) relationships with adults.

Butterflies and moths are among the most intriguing insects of our ecosystems. From their physical transformations to their epic migrations, these fragile little things continue to surprise and challenge us. In this lecture, we will dip our toes into the deep waters of Lepidoptera, and wonder together about how these small creatures play a part in God’s big story.
