A lightning-quick overview of the Old and New Testaments through the lens of common misconceptions, assumptions, and outright blunders. For many people the Bible is just a little bit scary; it’s big, it’s long, and it’s serious business. Even for many of us raised on the Bible there are ways we think about the Bible that aren’t terribly helpful, things we think we know about the Bible that are quite right. the reality is that as familiar as the Bible may be to us, most of us don’t know the Bible nearly as well as we think we do. The three sessions of “Everything You Know About the Bible Is Wrong” will help us enter into reading the Bible and making sense of it for our daily living. Pastor Karl Jacobson, Pastor Sarah Breckenridge and Pastor Mike Carlson. Mondays at 7pm (Nov. 9, 16, 23)
