Join Rev. Dale Suggs, pastor of BELOVED San Diego, for a refreshing, thought-provoking look at the foundational Bible stories from the Hebrew and Christian scriptures that have shaped what we believe and who we are as Christians in this online Bible study.
We are all shaped by narratives — cultural, familial, religious, historical parental, social, and even internal. As Dr. Karen Scheib writes, “We not only have stories. We are stories!”
Some of those stories contribute to our wellbeing, and others do not. We must attend to the stories that we listen to, the stories we tell, and how we tell them. We can choose to challenge, to revise, and to reinterpret the backstories we take for granted. And when we attend to our stories — how we listen to and tell them — we can reshape the narratives that shape our lives.
In this online Bible study, we will explore the overarching narratives told in the Bible through stories. Bible stories tell us who God is, who we are, and who we are in relationship with God, the world, our neighbors, and even ourselves. We'll question together the stories we all know and even take for granted, as well as the Bible stories used in the “culture wars” around us. We'll explore how they shape our lives as individuals and as a faith community.
This Bible study will be hosted on Thursdays beginning November 4th and ending December 16th (with no meeting on the Thanksgiving holiday). Two times are offered to fit your schedule: 10:30 AM and 6:30 PM (Pacific). Please join in at either session and at any time over the course of the Bible study!
