SIFTED

In the book of Luke in the Bible, Jesus tells his disciples that Satan has asked to sift them, as one would sift wheat on a threshing room floor, to separate the good from the bad. Jesus then encourages his disciples by telling them that he has prayed for them that their faith would not fail.

We’re going to be taking a look at ways that God shakes us out of our comfort zone, refines us and builds up the muscle of our faith for what might be coming…

Mo Events

Jesus had a profound way of using simple stories to lead people to profound spiritual insights and action steps. And some of the most intellectual disciples of Jesus – i.e., C.S. Lewis – have used “children’s stories” – i.e., The Chronicles of Narnia – to encourage people of all ages to demonstrate childlike faith.

Here’s the thing: Many spiritual sages who understand the human heart would argue that there is no such thing as a “children’s story.” All stories are for people of every age and, as we mature, we find deeper truths within those plots that lead us on to advanced, grown-up applications.

So for four weeks we will hear/rehear the zany stories of the late Dr. Seuss’ – whose birthday is March 2. This is gonna be really creative and a lot of fun! The Doc is just another example of how all stories point to a Grand Story that is good news (or, “gospel”) for humankind.

Topics:

February 26 – The Cat in the Hat
March 4 – Green Eggs and Ham
March 11 – Horton Hears a Who
March 18 – The Cat in the Hat Comes Back
