Quirky Stories from Scripture
“The Parable that Makes Some People Mad”
Pastor Paul Arnold
Scripture: Matthew 20:1-16
Many of the parables of Jesus are easy to love and treasure, but some of them leave us puzzled, and at least one of his parables leaves some folks angry. Some parables seem to suggest that, in God’s eyes, there are values that rank higher than fairness. Join us this Sunday as Pastor Paul explores the perplexing (and potentially frustrating) Parable of the Vineyard Workers, from Matthew 20:1-16.

Quirky Stories from Scripture
“Called Out of Comfort”
Pastor Paul Arnold
Scripture: Exodus 3:1-14
In Part Three of our sermon series, “The Quirkiest Stories in Scripture” we will consider the mystery of a bush that was burning brightly but not consumed. God used the burning bush to call Moses back “into the arena,” after he had lived quietly for years in the desert. Join us Sunday as we examine a burning bush, holy ground, a reluctant leader, and the name of God.

Quirky Stories from Scripture
“What Happened In the Garden?”
Pastor Paul Arnold
Scripture: Genesis 3:1-13
Message Preview: The human heart is slow to accept that God is able to give us everything we need for lives of joy and fulfillment. At some point, all of us are led down a path that is outside of God’s best will for our lives. In Part Two of our sermon series, “The Quirkiest Stories in the Bible,” we will look at the fascinating story of Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden. Whether we take the story literally or as an allegory, the story is full of truth. Hope to see you this Sunday as we examine a passage that resonates powerfully with our lives.
