Sanctuary | Livestream | On Demand
Click Here to Watch Live – Wednesdays at 6:30 p.m.
God’s everlasting faithfulness endures forever – but God’s love is revealed in an endless number of ways. The Bible has numerous examples of God working in the world through unexpected people in surprising situations. Throughout scripture and history, God has called women and men, the young and the old, the powerful and the weak, the popular and the outcast to show His love in new and imaginative ways. While the world around us tends to enjoy the status quo, Christ is continually doing a new thing. How can each one of us truly share God’s love in new and meaningful ways? Join Bob and Wendy for this Bible study that looks at God’s creativity in showing love.

Rev. Dave Poteet | Room 130 | 6:30 p.m.
Usually Jesus’ words comfort us. Sometimes they inspire or guide us. And sometimes they just make us want to lose our minds. What did He mean when He said, “Hate your mother and father?” Did He really mean we have to sell everything we own if we want to follow Him? What was He thinking when He said, “And if your eye causes you to stumble, pluck it out. It is better for you to enter the kingdom of God with one eye than to have two eyes and be thrown into hell, where the worms that eat them do not die, and the fire is not quenched.” We may end up thinking Jesus needed a good media consultant. He is so politically incorrect at times. Join Rev. Dave Poteet as we grapple with some of these sayings that confuse us, offend us, and make our heads want to explode as we look at the book: Difficult Words of Jesus by Amy-Jill Levine. (Available in Threefold)
Dave is the Pastor of Congregational Care at St. Luke’s and has served St. Luke’s twice during his ministry.

Stuart Malloy | Room 106, Vaught Chapel | 6:30 p.m.
Scott Peck, in his book, The Road Less Traveled, said that life is difficult. Let’s take a look at that. This class is an introspective look at our journey in life from the early stages to end of life. What are the six hills we all climb to face the final mountain? What constitutes a good life and is that the same for all of us? Have you ever asked yourself “life questions?” The end result can be a great blessing!
Stuart Malloy has served in the field of hospice for the last 16 years which allows him to take the practical side of religion, healthcare, and theology and to see how it operates in the most challenging condition in our life, our mortality.
