Post-Easter 2017: "The Writings"

4/21/2017

 
Over five Sundays in April/May 2017 we will be looking at some of the smaller writings of the Hebrew Scriptures (Old Testament) that don't often get a hearing on Sunday mornings.
These are:
  • Song of Songs (April 23)
  • Ruth (April 30)
  • (May 7 we have a guest preacher)
  • Lamentations (May 14)
  • Ecclesiastes (May 21)
  • Esther (May 28)
Don't get me wrong - I would love to spend a couple of weeks (at least) exploring every one of these writings. However if people are compelled to grab a Bible off the shelf, or head over to www.biblegateway.com and read through these writings in their own time, I am confident that it will bear great fruit in their knowledge, understanding and trust in the Lord our God.
Now here is the declaration (confession?): I was affected by reading Eugene Peterson's "Five Smooth Stones for Pastoral Work" and his commentary on these writings. I have unashamedly developed themes from Peterson's work in the shaping of the sermons for Sunday mornings - along with much of my own work in making it relevant and accessible to our place.
I will post a summary of each sermon on each "Writing" here on this page. I pray that you will not just read them, but will seek to read and learn directly from each Biblical book for yourself. It will not be wasted.

Steve
