This Week at Confirmation

Week Three: The New Testament | Wednesday, September 25, 2019

9/25/2019

Comments

 
Last week we discussed the importance of "place" and knowing what it means understand scripture in light of where and to whom it was written. This week we have the 30,000 foot view of The New Testament. Some may ask, "Why do we need an 'Old Testament' if we have a shiny new one?" That's a great question! The New Testament points to the good news of Jesus through the lens of the Old Testament promises. We are invited to find ourselves within the story of the Bible, even where that is difficult to do. We are invited to be a part of writing the story, even invited to sit in the tension of the story when warranted. Inspiration of the text is no complete until the Spirit inspires us to inhabit the world in and through the biblical text.

Bible texts we'll be reading this week with links to read online: 
John 12:44-50
Luke 2:3-6
John 8:52-59

As always, you are invited to sit in for class at any point to experience what your child is learning with them.
