Enough: God’s Blessing in Abundance
Explore dimensions of what it means to have enough through parables of Jesus and other biblical references. Author Laura Mendenhall encourages students to look at what is really most important to have in life—God’s blessings, which are in abundance for us. This six-week study is part of our Being Reformed: Faith Seeking Understanding series.
This week, Carolyn Russ will lead our lesson, Enough to Make a Difference, based on Luke 10:25–37.
Journey With Scripture | Second Floor Library
Peace be with you (John 20:19). In the Gospel of John, shortly after his betrayal, arrest, abandonment, and humiliating public execution, the risen Jesus unexpectedly enters the private, secured space of distressed followers and imparts upon them peace, continued purpose, and the Holy Spirit. Jesus loves them at the very heart of their need—in their alienation and hurt. Can such love be experienced in the distressful spaces of our lives? Join us for an April class of Easter readings:
This week, our readings are Acts 4:5–12; Ps 23; 1 John 3:16–24; and John 10:11–18.
