This Lent, we will be examining some of the great characters of the Bible and their inner struggles to answer the call of God.  They were real-life people who were having real-life experiences of God: experiences that stretched them and scared them and shook their worlds apart.  They were challenged, grown, and given dreams that would turn their lives upside-down – and world along with them.  And always, there was an inner conflict, a divine tug-of-war between this new vision of God and their old ways of thinking.

The Bible is full of examples – examples of love and faithfulness, of honor and virtue; but more than we are aware of, the Bible is full of anti-examples, as well.  It is not a Book just of heroes and triumphs; it is a tale of real, raw humanity – flawed, selfish, broken, and foolish.  And we can learn just as much from these anti-examples as from their faithful counterparts; we can learn what to do by watching and learning what not to do. During this four-week series about the Bible’s “Worsts”, we will engage the gritty reality of the human condition through provoking, grace-filled, and even humorous conversations. “The Worst Answer” based on the scripture from Acts 5:1-11.
