Living Biblically
What the Bible Actually Says
May 13, 2018 • Ed Noble
Message Summary: There are four mega themes that run through the Bible: God, God saves, sacrifice and faith. God reveals Himself in the Bible as the Lord. What does the Lord do? He saves. He is the hero of my story. How does He save? He saves through sacrifices, that all point to the ultimate sacrifice: Jesus. Our response is faith or trust in the work of the hero. This faith is marked by baptism. Living Biblically Series What would it look like to live http://biblically?...really!

Let’s Get Biblical, Biblical
April 8, 2018 • Ed Noble
Message Summary: We clearly need something that can help us to navigate life. Jesus was clear that we could find what we need in the Bible. The Bible is about God’s calling and dealings with Israel. But the story is bigger than them and has everything to do with what God was doing for all humanity. It is a place for all to meet God and it is actually beneficial to us. If we want to actually profit from it, we need to start by reading it and taking it up on its offer of LIFE. Living Biblically Series What would it look like to live http://biblically?...really!

“They Speak of Me”
April 15, 2018 • Ed Noble
Message Summary: We all have picked up some distorted pictures of God and need to be intentional about sorting through them. When we read the Bible, we need to read it carefully, in community and through the lens of Jesus. We can read with the Jesus lens by becoming aware of three plot spoilers as we read: Jesus is the denouement, Jesus is the ultimate and final revelation of God and the point of the Bible is restored imago dei and an invitation of interactive conversational relationship with God. We move forward into clarity as we read the Bible through the lens of Jesus, try living Jesus-focused and wrestle with the question, “Do I have the Son?” Living Biblically Series What would it look like to live http://biblically?...really!

Will Following the Bible Make Me a Weirdo?
April 22, 2018 • Ed Noble
Message Summary: There are plenty of people getting weird from getting into the Bible. However there are ways to be into the Bible and still avoid being weird. Weirdos ignore context. Weirdos forget what the Bible is. Weirdos petrify the scripture. So we stick with Jesus, we dive in to the Bible and know that God has given us what we need to understand it.

How to Interpret Like a Boss!
April 29, 2018 • John Sorrell
Message Summary: There are a few ways to become stronger interpreters of the Bible. The starting place is thinking about reading the Bible like a conversation that is guided by questions. It’s helpful to change our question to “God what does this say about you?” rather than “What is this saying to me?” Realizing that the New Testament writers use the Old Testament as a launching pad to help bring clarity to situations, we need to interpret through the lens of the bigger story of God. We can practice these strategies on our own this week. Living Biblically Series What would it look like to live http://biblically?...really!

But What About...?
May 6, 2018 • Ed Noble
Message Summary: God invites us to bring our questions and He promises to show up for us as we sincerely seek Him. But we also have to be aware that sometimes we can take a wrong turn and forget that reasoning, questioning, and research have limits. We can’t answer every question but we can move forward when we release our fears that the Bible needs us to defend it, when we discern the difference between doubt and unbelief, when we remember that the goal of seeking is to find and when we realize that we must at some point decide to trust God in spite of our questions.
