Resources
Join Associate Pastor Matt Helms for a three-week series in June looking at some of Jesus’ most beloved parables — from unpacking the historical context behind them, to exploring various interpretations of these texts and why they still resonate with us today. Each class will be a stand-alone session covering three unique parables — we hope you’ll join us for as many as you are able!
Videos of Tom Are’s Bible Study on Philippians
During the pandemic, Tom Are wrote a short book, Joy Even on Your Worst Days, which he calls “a preacher’s read of Philippians.”
Using the book as a guide, in autumn 2024 Tom led us in exploring the letter of Philippians, the most joyful writing in the Bible even though it was written while Paul was in prison.
You can view the four presentations from the Bible study here:
