Book Discussion in May
Thursdays, May 17th, 24th, and 31st at 7 pm
Join Pastor Karn and others as we read and discuss "Discerning the Voice of God" by Priscilla Shirer. This book uses everyday language, alongside of Bible stories, to help us consider how God is speaking to us and what to do about it. Ms. Shirer offers a faithful perspective that may challenge us, may give us insights, and may even cause us to look at things differently. This book is available from Amazon for less than $13.00. If you would like the office to order your copy, please email office@oslconline.org by May 6. The discussion begins with Part 1: "Realize the way He speaks," so please come on May 17 prepared to discuss chapters 1, 2, 3 and 4. Scholarly Pop Up Presentation
Kevin Barker, son of member Alyce Mayer, is pursuing his second Masters in Theology at Regent University. His paper, Apostate Rejection in the United and Divided Monarchies, is soon to be published. This is a deep dive into 1 and 2 Samuel and 1 and 2 Kings, considering how Israel’s rejection of YHWH’s just and abiding love led to the dividing of the monarchy and exiling of the northern and southern kingdoms. For those of you interested in ancient church history and biblical scholarship this event is just for you.
As his travel schedule can be unpredictable, know that the next time Kevin is in town there will be a gathering of those interesting in hearing more about this topic. If you would like a copy of his paper beforehand, please let Pastor Karn know. Since we do not know exactly when or where, it is a Pop up event...it will happen when it happens so stay tuned.
