  • James the Sage. Week 01
    Anytime we introduce a new book, I'm overwhelmed by the amount of nerdy stuff we could talk about! The genre, the date, the provenance, the background, setting, audience ... and of course, the author.
    In this talk, Josh focuses on the first verse of the book to make two broad, introductory points. First, the book of James is pretty terrible for a "letter." (It's a great book ... but a terrible letter.) And second, when we consider the story of James, "a slave of God and of the Lord Jesus Christ," there's a lot going on under the surface ... too much, in fact, to leave buried there.

  • Guest Speaker. (The Infamous) Jared Byas
    We have a guest preacher this week. Jared Byas from the Bible for Normal People! And because he knows we love the OT so much, we're hanging out in Genesis today. (Ok, ok, it's the assigned lectionary passage. But still. He could have picked something from the Gospels!)
    You've heard this story before, but it's a good one. And it has a lot of implications for us.

  • Habakkuk. Week 05
    We've reached the end, at at the end, what we get is an oddly placed psalm. Scholars argue over what to think about the *when of the psalm (and maybe also the *why of the psalm), but some see it is a fitting conclusion.
    Here's the synopsis: regardless of what is going on, I will rejoice.
    I will wait on the Lord.
    But if we think this means we being inactive ... we are missing it.

  • Habakkuk. Week 04
    Habakkuk 2:6ff is a section of text that scholars refer to as the “woe oracles.” It’s unclear who is the referent (who is getting woe'd), but most assume it's the controlling empire of the day, Babylon.
    This raises a few questions for us...
    What about today?
    Are we being "woe'd"?
    Are we ... the empire?
