Pastor’s Corner – Sunday, Dec 28

Some thoughts on the Bible…

I find it helpful to think of the Bible not as a book but as a library of books. Just like our local library, we find in the Bible many different authors and genres of literature written over a long period of time.

Some of the books tell the origin story of the people of God, like Exodus. Some are a collection of commands, like Leviticus. Some are letters, like Romans. Some are messages of good tidings to form disciples, like the Gospels. Some are songs and poems, like the Psalms. Some are parables, like Jonah. Some probe the mystery of the Divine, like Genesis. Some ask the most vexing questions, like Job. All of them in varying ways reveal something of God and what it means to be in relationship with our Creator, Provider, Sustainer, and Savior.

I invite you to join me in exploring the rich library of the Bible in scripture readings and sermons during worship.

Yours in Christ,

Marc
