Sunday
9am: We have heard a lot about the need to make a difference on our world. We talk about ‘hope for Redlands' and we have a program for this, and a process for that, and we have to read this book, and go to that seminar. Sometimes it seems there are too many demands placed upon us: we're busy enough, right?
The surprising thing is that being God's change agents may not be that complicated after all. It may not as hard as you might think, in fact it might be very simple. Sunday morning we will be find out the ingenious plan of God, and even see it at work. You can read ahead at Titus 2:1-10
5pm: If it were up to me, the Bible would be a much simpler and shorter book. Basically, it would jump from God's promises to Abraham in Genesis 12, straight to Jesus in the New Testament. I wouldn't have bothered with all that stuff about Israel and kings and temples, just adds too much time and confusion into the whole equation. But I am not God, and surely he did know what he was doing> So what are we to make of the nation of Israel, especially as they fall into decline, get taken away into captivity and return just a shadow of their former glory? This week we look at the Exile and the Prophets, and see that without Israel and their failure, we wouldn't really understand Jesus. If you want to read ahead, go for the book of 2 Chronicles.
