This Sunday (11 December 2022) — “Understanding the Bible”
Adapted for this age group from a curriculum based on the book by John Buehrens (Understanding the Bible: An Introduction for Skeptics, Seekers, and Religious Liberals).
This week — Session 3 — The Birth Stories of Jesus
If our discussion of the Binding of Isaac is done (and that’s a big “if”), we are going to jump ahead and look at the two birth stories of Jesus and how the two stories have become one in our hearts and minds over the centuries.
We will look at the themes and symbols in the stories and how they conform to the Hebrew Testament prophecies and we will discuss what they meant to the people who wrote down the stories and to the people who first heard them.
