Today we discuss the kick off to our new worship series - Earn, Save, Give: A Series on Money and Happiness.  

Throughout this series we will take a Wesleyan perspective on stewardship and we begin by discussing The Parable of the Talents, God's character, vocation, and reprogramming the church... casual Monday conversations.

We talk about resources to better understand the Parable of the Talents. While I don't have anything specific to link to, I highly suggest the work of Amy-Jill Levine. She is an agnostic Jew (self professed) who teaches New Testament at Vanderbilt. Her work will open you to new perspectives on the parables, and the context from which they come.

You can sign up for this month's book club. We'll be discussing Walter Brueggemann's book "Money and Possessions." Details here:
