The Scripture & Transformation #1

When people begin reading the Bible, they often assume the best place to start is the first page. But the Scriptures are not simply a book to get through; they do not merely offer us information to master. Rather, they are a library that leads us to Jesus and forms us in his way of life.

In this series, we will begin with core passages that help us encounter Jesus, understand the life he invites us into, and become more like him. These words of comfort, challenge, prayer, hope, love, identity, and renewal have shaped generations of his followers—and they can shape us too.

Each week, we will ask not only, What does this passage mean? but, What kind of person is this passage forming us to become?

The New Exodus #4 - Babylon

The Bible’s story is shaped by two early narratives: creation and exodus. In creation, God makes the world good and creates humans in his image. In the exodus, God reveals his commitment to free people from oppression. But the story also shows how humans misuse their freedom, dehumanizing themselves and others and living in exile from the life God intends. Jesus steps into that story as the true image of God and the one who leads a new exodus. In our new series, The New Exodus, we will see that Jesus shows us a better way to be human and continues to bring freedom, restoration, and new life into our world's brokenness and our everyday lives.
