THIS SUNDAY, May 15, 2022
Speaker: Rev. Dr. Jeff Siker (Teaching virtually. In person attendance encouraged.) 
Topic: “LETTING PAUL BE PAUL”
 
Continuing our discussions on the latest scholarship of the role and teachings of the Apostle Paul, Rev. Dr. Jeff Siker will be addressing four basic questions asked today:
 
What happened to Paul? Did he “convert” to Christianity (Acts 9)? Or did he have a “call” experience like the prophets of old (Galatians 2)? What do we call his radical change of heart regarding Jesus? And from whose point of view?
Does it matter that Paul was wrong about the imminent second coming of Jesus (1 Thess 4) If he was wrong about that, was he also wrong about other things he believed about the Gospel?
Does it matter that Paul was mostly wrong about the Jews coming to believe in Jesus as God’s Messiah (Romans 11:25)?
Is Paul a “White Elephant” or a “Sacred Cow”? To what extent should we regard Paul’s teachings as no longer relevant to modern faith? To what extent should we regard Paul’s teachings as fixed guideposts for our faith?
 

UPCOMING SCHEDULE

May 15 : Rev. Dr. Jeff Siker (Teaching virtually. In person attendance encouraged.)
 
May 22 & 29: Rev. Dr. Gary Sattler

Topic: Experiencing the Life we Long For
How do we experience the life we long for? How do we experience all Jesus promised
when he said: “My sheep know my voice and follow me” (John 10:3,5,27). In these two
weeks we will unpack how to experience a “conversational relationship” with Jesus that
opens us to finding the life we desire.

May 23, 2021 – PART 1 OF 2
Speaker:  Gary Sattler, ThD, PsyD

Topic: “TRAUMA”
Trauma is a word we hear frequently these days: the Rev. Dr. Gary Sattler, a research psychoanalyst, retired Presbyterian minister and seminary professor, will help us think about what trauma is, its effects, and ways of responding, both with others and ourselves.

 

 

May 30, 2021 – PART 2 OF 2
Speaker:  Gary Sattler, ThD, PsyD
Topic: “FORGIVENESS”
What does it mean to forgive? Are we to “forgive and forget?”  Does it mean to just be nice?  Gary Sattler will be with us again this week to explore what forgiveness means, how God thinks about it, and what we should expect of ourselves (and perhaps hope for from others).
