August 4, 2024 "What The Soil Teaches Us About Rest And Change"

ReNew Ames Messages

One of our current focus team members, Brian Gelder, brings us perspective on the history of soil in the lands of the early Old Testament stories, and what questions some of those stories raise for us when we examine the full context of the culture and history surrounding them. There is benefit in taking a bird's eye view of these lands and stories, rather than just the Sunday School answers or the Hollywood portrayals of their characters. Just like the soil changes over time and needs adjustments and cultivation, we grow and change with the shifting of time and historical perspective we gain on the cultures and environments we find ourselves in over the course of our lives. Maybe we will walk away with more questions to ponder, and some added color to the pages. Speaker: Brian Gelder Scripture: Leviticus 25:1-7; 26:3-6, 18-20
