Great Controversies of the Bible will be the theme for our Wednesday evening
Lenten services. In this series we will examine how different Biblical books or
authors sometimes take opposing or contrasting perspectives on the same issue.
The Bible invites us into a dynamic conversation where we discern the will of
God for our life by immersing ourselves into its story. This series will reveal
that Biblical interpretation is not just something that goes on today, but that
the interpretive task was already taking place within the pages of the Bible
itself.
