Have you every wrestled with certain passages of scripture? Anyone who has spent any time studying the Bible will occasionally stumble over things that seem inconsistent or even contradictory. For example, are we really supposed to hate members of our own family, or sell all our belongings and give the proceeds to the poor?

Questions like these are why Pastor Cathy will lead discussions Tuesday evenings on The Difficult Words of Jesus: A Beginner's Guide to His Most Perplexing Teachings, using Dr. Amy-Jill Levine's book and videos of the same name. (The book is available on Amazon in paperback, Audible or Kindle formats, but not necessary to attend the class.)

In this study, you will learn how these difficult teachings would have sounded to the people who first heard them, how they have been both understood and misunderstood over time, and how we might interpret them in the context of the Gospel of love and reconciliation.
